I don't think PTWs are a good thing to encourage given how much more risk is involved

skwerl said:The latest trend also appears to be shooting the stop line. I don't mean the ASL but the original stop line as well. Perhaps they've been told that stopping in an ASZ is illegal - the logical answer being to ride straight through it so as to stop on the other side!

People should learn to live/ride with mbikes in bus lanes. It's going to happen from next year anyway so you should just accept it and learn to adapt having a mbike in a bus lane as well as a bus.
All bike riders (excluding those riding on L-plates) are very good riders anyway, especially in London.

User3143 said:Much higher speeds? How much higher then you or I going at 20-22mph, not a lot of difference really.
