News - Cyclists Vs Motorcyclists

I like motorcycles and pedal-powered cycles. I used to commute in London every day on a trusty bicycle until someone stole it, and I was raised on motorcycles and if you cut me I'd probably bleed engine oil.

In short I prefer to get around on two wheels rather than four. I'll admit that riding in the capital is challenging at the best of times but it's a joy compared to sitting in a car. Nothing beats filtering past a long line of stationary traffic on a hot summer's day.

I don't see the point in the tension between cyclists and motorcycles, we all get pushed off the road by buses and white vans so really we should work together. So things like this make me a bit sad - http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=1145 - it's the London Cycling Campaign trying to get motorcyclists out of the bus lanes before they have even had a chance to get in them.
