Westminster could let motorcyclists use bus lanes

A 3 week consultation - it would be good if Camden did the same thing!

Excellent, the No To Bike Parking Tax lot will go ballistic - they just love that Lie Roudley character.

Confused! I thought bikes were allowed in all bus lanes in london now?

Can't remember when you couldn't use bus lanes in Sheffield.

It's great tbh, saved myself a good 30 minutes on one short stretch today (Western Bank/Brook Hill down to the roundabout for anyone who knows the area).

Only bad thing is there's a traffic light gate on the bus lane... triggered by under-tarmac sensors... bad thing is bikes and taxis aren't heavy enough to trigger them so had to shuffle into the car lane... much to the car drivers annoyance (they probably think its illegal to use bus lanes, and if they know its not, they probably just think if you take advantage of them, you hold have to face the disadvantage too)


TL/DR - cars hate bikes that use bus lanes even more than usual

Would be good as it's always risky that you may end up driving where you shouldn't and risk getting a ticket.

I think this is not good at especially for newbie bikers. Their safety must always be considered.
