Exactly the same thing happened to me on Oxford St once. Trackstanding and suddenly the bike completely locked up, bus driver had run the bumper over the wheel then refused to move backwards despite a large group of people both on and off the bus yelling at him. Farking idiot.
Funny that, because at first I couldn't get my bike out from under his bus so I said he'd have to reverse to get it out. He refused, but was still adamant I needed to move my bike so he could carry on with his route. I tried a couple of times to pull it out, but (bein a girl and all) it took me a while. I managed to get it out on me own in the end, but my Dad (I know !) seems to think he refused to reverse so that 1. he didn't cause any more damage to the bike and 2. he could claim that any damage to the bike was due to me ragging it out from underneath the bus rahter than the accident.
