Many other European cities with them have better dedicated cycle
infrastructure rather than having them in bus lanes. Two types of vehicle
less compatible with one another are hard to imagine.

When cyclists pay road tax for their bikes then they can have a say in how the
roads are laid out and what they share them with. Until then they can put up or
shut up.

Maybe (conventional car driving) motorists should start paying road tax?

And surely the people who moan about road tax think cyclists ride on the
pavement, only venturing onto a road if there is an opportunity to go
through a red light or cross over to access an organic wind-powered
feminist vegetarian tree which needs hugging?
