Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

I know this has been posted before but I can't find the thread. Perhaps this one could be stickied?
Please complete the survey in a positive light for bikers to continue to use them, otherwise we could just lose out to whoever shouts loudest rather than a decision being made on actual results.

Done and done.

And i even complained about cyclists. wooo me

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Done.. it think for the second time.

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

I think they're always going to have more right to use them than us, so I can't see that being a winner :(

Only 2nd? where's your commitment man? :lol:

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Ditto.

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

tbh, it was just a general winge....

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Survey done and thread stickied.

Well done for bringing this up again Stu, i dont think i'd seen it before now.

I think everyone who rides in London should make sure they fill in that survey.

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

just as a point of interest Colchester was one of the pilot towns for bikes,taxis and bicycles in bus lanes. We've had it for years now and it works very well. Lots of people sent lots of feedback to the borough council about how it seemed to work very well for everyone.
I know we're only a smallish town and certainly don't have the bus and taxi traffic to be found in that there London but we showed it can work. Buses, it seems to me have learnt to be observant. that's not guesswork - one runs right outside my house!
Good luck

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Well make sure that once you fill in the survey you also add these comments in the box at the end :)

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

done despite only riding into town once every 2-3 weeks but enjoyed my last trip to Essential Rubber riding in the bus lanes!

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

My views have been submitted.

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Done, gotta make sure we fill this lot in if we're going to stop people being able to pull out a survey saying "87% were neutral or disagreed with motorbikes being in bus lanes"

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Done and done. Cheers stu!

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Thanks Stu - I've done it now too.

Skillfully done in the nick of time so that you can click on the "25 - 34" age bracket.

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

done :D

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

done ..thanks for my weekly reminder

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Just done. I've started riding to London for band practice and the odd gig (if you see some daft fule on a yellow curvy with a bass guitar strapped to his back, it's likely to be me- got some funny looks already!).

The bus lanes on Marylebone Rd/Euston Road were a blessing on Sunday.

I also put a plug in for bikes using cycle boxes at junctions- for safety reasons of course!

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

You may be interested to know that TfL did a proper survey about this (aha you see you can't fool us with your survey-fiddling antics, we is clever you see).

Anyhoos the good news is that it was all very positive and even the cyclists don't mind us being there too much. It's not the only factor in the decision but it def helps :D So you can all keep up the good work not crashing and being nice to the lovely cyclists! :smt052

PS. you didn't hear it from me! :-$

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Drats! Our fiendish plans have been foiled lads & ladies. On to plan B! ;) :D

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

What was plan B again? Was it the one where we set fire to TFL towers?

We gotta remember to let our friendly fishy know in advance tho. Otherwise its BBQ fish :shock:

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

You can do it next week as I'll be on hols ;)

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Done, Thanks for pointing that out!

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

You've set fire to TFL? :shock:

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

Done, I received a fine once before all this happened so they best not take the trail away!

They have spend too much money on all the new signs to swap them all back again.

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

i cant see why theyd want too undo it if the trial has worked it's not logical.

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

technically this is still on trial till Feb (i think) of 2010 and could be revoked.

Only one justification, the old moolah. And no, not a mullah like this

Re: Bus Lane TFL Survey, Apathy from Bikers
 

It can depend on how much sense is present on the body deciding it - up here, the initial (3yr) trial in Sheffield was made permanent with no fanfare, because it was an accident reduction measure and the numbers spoke for themselves.

I'm not sure if the London one is the same sort of affair, or whether they've got something less solid as a baseline. I'd say that if it were congestion or emissions based then to get on and sign all the petitions to keep it, as the numbers probably won't show much difference before and after.
