Bus lanes are able to be used by buses, motorcycles, mopeds and cyclists. E.g, the one by Smiths Hire, just past the Old Waimak Bridge, on Main North Road, before it turns in Marshlands Road at Chaneys Corner.
You are also allowed to go when the B traffic light appears, as long as you are legally using the bus lane.
Just remember that 2 to 3 times each week in Chch a motorcyclist or cyclist gets cleaned up going up the left side of a line of cars, by a vehicle turning through a gap in that line of cars. Whether you are doing it legally or illegally makes no difference. Going up the left puts you in a place where people aren't expecting you to be, so they likely won't see you.

I don't use Tram Road. I use Lineside Road. There's a bit just before the motorway that is the low point of that road, and that's where the winter is coldest. I can leave home and it's zero, and it'll drop 2 degrees before I get to the motorway, then go back to zero.
Bridges are generally the worst for ice, as they are cold underneath as well as on top.
Given that we are going out on tangents, I fancy Sandra Bullock.
Seems to me that pretty much all the advice offered in this thread, is something we should do every time we ride a motorcycle. Basic safety practices.

The long straight roads going east-west in canty are very prone to icing up on the North side. Which is your side going in to town...
Any area with trees shading the road will ice up readily. Look for the long lasting damp patches on your route about now - they'll be ice in winter.
And be aware if you're out on the plains, water cooled bikes can get damaged if you've not used good antifreeze...Even in a closed garage....
Bullocks......!!!!
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
Why we lane split
