They're used like that all over europe (in plenty of cities with narrow

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.

There has no such thing as road tax for decades. Many motor vehicles pay no
more than cycles to be put on the road.

Don't start the silly semantics ******** about road tax vs road fund license.
You have no choice than to pay it if you want to use your vehicle on the
road , ergo its a tax regardless of what cuddly fluffy name it currently has.
