    I do a lot of cycling. I've been a member of the London Cycling Campaign
    (on and off) since 1992. They do worthwhile and valuable things.

    However, they've got their knickers in a right old twist about
    motorbikes being allowed in bus lanes.

    I got their monthly email this morning - it's urging all cyclists to
    "make their views known" to TFL, who are conducting a survey of road
    user attitudes to this development.

    Just in case anyone here would like to make their views known, here's a
    link to the survey in question :

    What a bunch of utter cunts. I would take my chance with a bloke on a
    bike than a London fucking bus anyday of the week.

  4. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Bear
    More to the point, has anyone ever surveyed bus drivers on what they
    think of cyclists sharing their bus lanes?

    change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
    go and talk to the Catholics.

  5. That's ok. I've filled in the form as an enthusiastic cyclist who just
    loves bikes in bus lanes.

    And colour blind? Or blind to red lights, anyway?

    I had one of the thick twats mouthing off at me this morning for having
    the cheek to brake sharply in front of him when someone turned left
    across my path.

    The response I had in my head was "so you think I should have carried on
    into the side of that vehicle and caused significant amounts of damage
    to property and, likely, myself rather than making you slow down a touch?"

    My actual response was "**** off you twat"

    Overly wordy: you should simply have biffed him.

    Phew... I was getting worried. I get strange looks from drivers when I do.
    I don't ride on pavements either.
