Default Re: Discresionary Cycle Lanes and the Police.

a motorcycle is cycle isnt it? it does say it in the name so in theory motorcycles are allowed in cycle lanes.
of course your local police will then say its for bicycles in which you reply a motorcycle is a bicycle it has 2 wheels and is still a cycle so im still allowed in the cycle lanes

all complaints must be taken seriously, if your ever going to complain make sure you do it right and get heard

Check the taxation class on your motorcycle tax disk
Far less longwinded than the above when you can just point at your tax disk.

no, a motorbike is classed as a Powered Two Wheeler and not a bicycle, regardless of the fact that thats what is says on our tax discs.
