[sustran] EU laws to put brake on bikers(motorcyclists) BUT BUT BUT

[Eric.Britton]

In Paris we have – thanks to Mayor Delanoë and his sustainable transport
guy Denis Baupin and their team, -- a situation in which bicycles are
able to circulate on the fat growing and really quite fine indeed new
BRT lanes, while motorcycles are obliged to stack up with the cars. This
has several interesting consequences. It gives a related speed edge to
the cyclist while putting the motorcycles where they belong, in that
every longer queue with the cars. Moreover, I as a cycling feel a lot
safer pedaling away in a lane in which not only is there less traffic by
far, but also I am sharing the lane with trained professional drivers.
It makes a big difference.
