No. Buses move largely in a predictable fashion at relatively lower

PTW's in bus lanes, as you'd know had you read the links.

So, any examples of an "anti-motorist" agenda here, or a shred of
evidence for the paranoid claims about the posts on the torygraph
site?


Anything at all?

I really can't see that cyclists trying to ban other vehicles from
certain roads or lanes will be anything but counter productive. After
all, a lot of car drivers would like to ban cyclists from the roads,
especially if there is a cycle path nearby, and could justifiably argue
that if cars can't go on some roads, why should bicycles not go on others.

It is a dangerous route to take. A more effective approach would be for
roads to be shared by all and the consequential problems dealt with
rather than atttempting to ban whole classes of road users.

I've no wish to engage the trollers you are debating with Spindrift, but
I do say that you, and a significant portion of those on urc, and the
cyclists representative body, the ctc, are anti-motorcyclist.
