Was that the national cycling organisation* that tried to stop motorcycles being allowed to use bus lanes? Claiming it was dangerous, despite evidence showing the opposite? At the time, I recall statistics showed that by far, cars and trucks were the biggest cause of collisions with bikes, followed (a long way back, to be fair) by stationary objects, other cyclists, and even further back by motorcycles.
* Not cyclists in general, just the organisation. IIRC, this was what stopped London boroughs allowing it, just leaving the Red Routes which are/were under the control of the mayor.
