Default Boris bike lanes?

So what do you all think ?

Will Boris stick to his word and allow bikers in the big smoke ( London ) to use bus lanes ?. A plus for general safety i think

Or will the cyclist lobby be up in arms crying into their green eco one armed peruvian lesbian made scarf's, that bikers pose a threat to law abiding cyclists and maybe in mass protest they will start staying at traffic lights when red, rather than jumping them at any opportunity and crossing lanes when they feel like it and cutting other road users up ?
Ps I'm not anti cyclist I just feel as a motorcyclist we are bottom of the pecking order when it comes to safety and common sense in London due to the image of promoting London as a green eco city

The French scheme is funded through advertising revenue from publicly-owned billboards and rental fees for the bicycles.

Bosses at Clear Channel, which operates a similar scheme in Barcelona, have said they do not think the London vélib will work as it will rely solely on money from rental fees.

Clear Channel chief executive Barry Sayer said: "I've never seen a scheme that has paid enough to justify [not having advertising]. London will be structurally challenging. The other interesting question will be the streets, we need more bike tracks."

Critics highlight changes introduced by the Mayor which have cut costs for drivers. These include scrapping a planned £25 congestion charge for larger cars and suspending the third stage of the low-emissions zone.

Default Boris bike

Hello........

Personally, I think he is just trying to appeal to the working classes. Trying to show he is an ordinary bloke. I think though the plan is a sham. I doubt it makes that many more people keen on him as mayor. At least we are recycling! Maybe Dara O'Brien will end up PM!

Lol, good old Boris!
If those girls have seen some of his dodgy rugby tackles I'm not surprised they legged it!
