You are completely stuck at the speed of the slowest, and if you take avoiding action in any direction you hit a kerb.

As there is a "Westinster in Bloom" sign at the next junction dating from 1993, you are probably boringly correct in your first guess. It still amuses me that you could legally drive down there most of the time if you really, really wanted to. Not even m/cs actually do though. |

There the main use was for white van man to temporarily store packages being picked up or delivered They also gave tourists a good place to stand, and admire the views, certainly magnificent, up and down the avenues, while they considered whether or not to cross the street. Is London's motorcycle experiment only for bus lanes, or is it being tried elsewhere as well? Jeremy Parker |

Right. So when someone's held up on a bike, it's OK for them to complain, especially when the roadspace has been artificially and needlessly restricted so that they can't get past. But when someone's held up in a car, even if it's by an inconsiderate moron who's going extremely slowly and doing his very best to hold up a long line of vehicles, any complaint about being held up or any attempt to get past and the driver is immediately labelled an impatient, irresponsible child-killing monster who should be thrown in jail. Once again, this is a case of something being "OK" when a cyclist does it, but not when a motorist does it, and once again, such discrimination is the result of a blatant hatred of motorists. |

Unfortunately, I think it's only for bus lanes, though allowing them in cycle lanes would be a good move as well. Still, allowing them into bus lanes is a good start, and when things are made statistically safer for cyclists as a result yet the car-haters *still* say they want motorcycles out of bus lanes, their true motives (and their pretence that they care about cyclist safety) will be unequivocally exposed once and for all. Which can only be a good thing for motorcyclists, motorists, real cycling advocates, and everyone except the car-haters really. |
