I WRITE with regard to the proposed use of bus lanes by normal traffic.

As a cyclist, one of the few benefits we get is to use bus lanes. This gives us some degree of safe cycling.

I use bus lanes while commuting to work. This is done before 7am.

I will now be forced to run the gauntlet with semiconscious motorists who show little regard for us.

Perhaps it's fatalist to suggest but the chances of an accident seem to have been greatly increased.
