Motorcyclists taking up an ASL just seems to mean they're stuck to someone's bumper 50yds up the road a few seconds quicker. Meanwhile the cyclists that are stuck behind them in whats left of the ASL have to put up with exhausts (sometimes angled up on the more sporty models) and then *still* have to overtake/undertake the motorbikes when they get stuck in traffic. Quite often the motorbike will be blocking a gap too small for them that a whole peloton of cyclists could use. I'm speaking mostly of my commute here, which is mostly along the Embankment.
I'm patient enough to not be overly bothered by motorbikes in the ASL holding me up, but its pretty unpleasant being stuck behind one of them and having exhaust fumes blown straight at you. I'd prefer if they were behind me, out of the ASL, but then I would say that
Like bus exahusts though, keeps you warm in winter....
Every choking, noxious and unpleasant cloud, eh? :P0 -

That'll be some lefty hand-holding thing, so no!

Do commies have weekends? Or just an extra helping of gruel one day a week?0 -

You mean Victory Gruel, righteous product of the motherland, nourishment for both body and soul? One helping is enough, it would be an act of bourgeois profligacy to expect more. We get to leave the factories for a few hours for callisthenics and marching drills though.0 -

I did hear that Fulham was becoming a bit rough these days, I had no idea it had got this bad. They'll be closing the Sloaney Pony next.0 -

If they're not sure, they shouldn't use them?

W1 and Notsoblue,
I'm sure there is another format you could use for your love in rather than bore the crap out of others on here0 -

You mean The Victory Pony? Going strong, though the back room is now cold storage for the produce grown on Parson's green. Voted into the Top 5 Places to Redeem Gin Vouchers.0 -
