I'm both a cyclist and motorcyclist (well, until some c*nt drove into me earlier in the year) I prefer not to ride a motorbike in bus lanes in heavy traffic because I end up travelling faster than the inevitably crawling traffic and faster than I would be when filtering down the middle because it's an empty lane, which leaves for less time to deal with incidents.
If my lights aren't shining in someone's mirrors then they're not going to see me until its too late if they decide to turn off or join the lane. I stick to filtering down the middle on both, it's how I was trained on the motorbike and serves me personally well on the bicycle as well.
Scooter riders should generally be shot.

A designer / coder I aint, but I am a whizz with the backend infrastructure, saw nginx mentioned previously, if you need any assistance with that side of things, give me a prod, i'm in between jobs and bored of tidying up my shelves.
About 12:15, a car came out of a side road, crossed King St and ploughed into a cyclist and pedestrians on the other side, 5 mins after i'd cycled past the same spot whilst on my way to maplin. Heard the the crash, a unique sound that reminds of past accidents. Cyclist, an OAP from what I could tell was conscious and being tended to by passers by, Ambulances were on their way shortly after.
