I hate everybody equally. Cycle lanes you mean? They never used the inside lane anyway. Look at Kingston Road, Willerby at the Highway Pub when you get the inside lane back when it changes to Willerby Road. Do drivers move over into the inside lane there? No they don't, unless they want to turn left at County Road. The same happens all over the city, drivers won't use the inside lane in case a car is parked half a mile up the road, so you might as well make it a parking spot with a cycle lane and get some real use out of it. Anlaby Road bus lane operates in reverse. When you are allowed in it, you *still* stay in the overtaking lane, yet when it is in force, it is chock full of cars breaking the law meaning I can't legally ride in it. -- Simon Mason

I do - judging by your inferiority complex, I reckon you can't be an inch over 5'3". And probably a bit poofty too :-)
