Motorcycles in bus lanes please take time to read .

> Apparently Transport for London are receiving very few comments from motorcyclists about the new London-wide TfL trial of motorcycles in most red-route bus lanes. For details of permitted routes use link at end.

> The latest news is that as part of the evaluation of the scheme 'users views' will be taken into account and 'numbers responding' will play a part in this.

> Clearly none of us want to see a situation where 5,000 cyclists have protested and 200 motorcyclists support. It's this kind of thing that would shift the political balance against us.
>
> However, cyclists campaign groups are steadily orchestrating a build up of resistance to the measure, being well organised at grass roots level in the capital and elsewhere. Tfl have already received large numbers of submissions from cyclists, opposing motorcycles in bus lanes.

> We risk losing the scheme at the end of the 18 month period unless the motorcycle world demonstrates widespread support for the measure.

> We urge all of you who read this to use the link below to visit the TfL 'user views' website and complete the response form, which will take only about two minutes.

> The TfL scheme is being keenly watched outside London. Failure of the scheme in London will be likely to cripple our chances of getting motorcycles into bus lanes elsewhere.

Done too

Just done it, although won't they already have an estimate of the numbers of Motorbikes using the roads. If the number responses are statistically beyond the reasonable range wont they just ignore the whole survey.

As a cyclist, I cant understand why other cyclsts dont want this, Motorbikes wont do any harm, they'll be away and past beofre you realise, I'd rather take up the bus lane with another motorbike than a few tonnes of bus...

[timwilky]

even though I have never ridden in London, I filled it in positively for riding in bus lanes. The thought being that where London leads others may follow. Except thank god with congestion charging.
