if you wouldn't mind, and agree with the principle, please could you spare a couple of minutes to sign this petition to try and persuade the government to allow motorbikes to use bus lanes

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/bikesinbuslanes/

some places already allow this, Reading being one, and it works very well

it may also stop some accidents and incidents where bikers currently filter between lanes or up the middle of the road which can be both annoying and dangerous
