Default Bikes in Bus Lanes in London from 5th January 2009

News thats almost a month old, but a quick use of the search didn't turn it up.

Maybe was discussed while I was away and I missed it, but, just in case

its a good move, but i think id feel more vulnerable surrounded by double deckers than i would cars, plus having to overtake stopped buses all the time as they dont look they just pull away....still should be good lol

Now we just have to get the cyclists OUT of the bus lanes.

Well its because of slow moving cyclists that buses are forced OUT of the bus lanes themselves.....

hehe

Er? when have you ever seen a bus in a bus lane? Usually they're just empty.

There for Buses? I never see a bus in the bus lane, its normally 4 abreast with cycles and a taxi following slowly behind.
