Craig Carey-Clinch of the British Motorcycle Association:
TfL have already received large numbers of submissions from cyclists opposing motorcycles in bus lanes...we don't want to see a situation where 5,000 cyclists have protested and 200 motorcyclists shown support. It's this kind of thing that would shift the political balance against us. Failure of the scheme in London will be likely to cripple our chances of getting motorcycles in bus lanes elsewhere.
Cycle lobby groups are motivated and determined. They see denying motorcycles access to bus lanes as a number one key goal. They have a strong and well motivated campaigning local network. They will do all they can to achieve their goal. Unless we respond to this, we risk seeing this hard won concession denied to us after the experimental period has finished.
From Motorcycle News by way of Waltham Forest. Yes, it's a hot issue. Whichever way you look at it, fill out the TfL survey here.
