Strictly yes according to unnamed police officer in central London.

So question is as follows... The A201(?) Farringdon road through central London is shut southbound for major repairs. However, there is still a through route south... Marked with cones.. In which a sign says No Ahead Except Cycles.

The coned area is a bus lane in which motorcycles are specifically permitted. There are no little pictures of a bicycle. I would say the intention is clearly for bicycles because no one officiating traffic in London gives a flying f about motorbikes... However, letter of the law is a cycle includes motorbikes.

So... What would you do? and does anyone know a bylaw that explains cycles in more detail.

I drove down it this morning and will wait adequate time to see if I get a ticket. I'll let you London riders know the outcome unless anyone can add their 2 pennies.

Yes... I am being pedantic and I don't care!
