Bus Lanes: Proof Of What We All Knew
spindrift (spindrift ) gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying:
"Other than Duhg, y'mean? "
A quick search reveals nobody by that name posts on the UK Rec cycling
forum
You may like to put the goalposts back, btw, because your question didn't
restrict the choice to posters in uk.rec.cycling. You know exactly who
I'm referring to. Nor is uk.rec.cycling a "forum".
and it's interesting you still have no actual examples.
I don't "still" anything, because that was my first post in this thread.
"Boo. Hoo. You'll be complaining that the presence of buses in bus lanes
makes life "unpleasant" for cyclists next."
No. Buses move largely in a predictable fashion at relatively lower
speeds than motorbikes- the crux of the argument against allowing PTW's
in bus lanes, as you'd know had you read the links.
So. ****ing. What? Got news for you, mate. There's a rather unsubtle clue
in their name that "BUS lanes" don't exist for the benefit of cyclists -
they're there for the _sole_ benefit of bus traffic, and the fact that
cyclists are allowed into them is a side issue.
If you want to play the "inconvenience" card, bicycles cause far more
delay and inconvenience to buses than P2Ws would. I strongly suspect
there's also more collisions, injuries and even deaths caused by
interaction between buses and bicycles in bus lanes than there would be
between buses and P2Ws in bus lanes.
