Bikes in London Bus Lanes at last!

The BMF has welcomed the announcement that the new Mayor of London Borris Johnson has given the OK to allowing motorbikes in bus lanes in London. Boris Johnson confirmed that TfL [Transport for London] are happy to go ahead with this. So finally common sense prevails. So its a big thank you to Borris and the BMF!

BMF pushes Borris on bikes in bus lanes!

The BMF have written to new London Mayor, Borris Johnson, asking now when bikes will be allowed in bus lanes across the whole of London.

This follows on from meetings in February between the BMF and Borris Johnson and his team when Borris said that: “Allowing motorcycles into bus lanes would ease congestion and increase traffic speed… I want to encourage people to get out of their cars and use other forms of transport but we must make it easier for them to do so. I want to get London moving and this is one of a raft of initiatives that I will take.”

Lets hope with Borris at the helm this will now finally happen.

Ride safe!
