Motorcycles Almost As Bad As Cars
Motorbikes in bike lanes is obviously bad for cyclists and pedestrians.
Mayor Boris says he is doing this to relieve congestion, and part of the reason London is still congested is because buses take up too much room, and they’re not being utilized. Would-be cyclists are also afraid of them, as they should be. If you put in some streetcars, you’ll immediately see some significant results in modal shift and decreasing congestion.
Motorbikes scare the living daylights out of cyclists, so they should not be tolerated anywhere near cyclists. If someone does something so plainly anti-cyclist, then that person is, in fact, ‘anti-cyclist’ in their policies - regardless of whether or not they call themselves a cyclist, regardless of whether or not they say they are actually seeking to increase cycling numbers. Don’t let cognitivie dissonance get the best of you - call it like you see it. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
