From my experience Bus Drivers are generally very considerate of cyclists. I'd assume they're more pissed off with idiots drivers parking in the bus stop bay, etc. They're more patient than Taxi drivers for example, they don't get paid by the passenger or have anywhere to get to (relatively) quickly.
I have noticed that very few indicate when pulling out of bus stops though, which is annoying - We can't tell if there are still people getting on and by the time you start to overtake there's a fair distance to cover before you clear the bus. Meanwhile he starts pulling out...eeek

The only collision I have had all year was with a pedestrian walking out between two cars into the cycle lane. Curbs on each side meant that the only course of action available to me was shoulder check the dude. Right now I am banged up with four broken ribs and a broken scapula but that was my fault I was racing along the river quay and I didn't slow down for the speed bump which subsequently threw me off. I might say that I have never had an accident involving any vehicles but then I am probably the sketchiest of the sketchy middle of the road riders.
That's the fucking worst. You can't see them because of the massive 4x4s with tinted windows, and they can't see us. We've got nowhere to go when they walk out into the bike lane...unless you can bunny hop onto a pavement - But I'm 13stone on a carbolite bike. Fat chance (literally)

This is a question me and my housemate were discussing while watching yesterday's stage. You see a lot of Black long distance runners yet very few competing in cycling - Surely cycling doesn't demand much more than marathon runners, apart from higher power to weight ratios, but then again those runners are always super thin and can last lots of hours...

My eyes are stinging with montes and bushmills.
Bought an spec s-works helmet today. Never owned a helmet for a push bike before. Jesus, I (it) looks terrible.Yeah I'm thinking one of those will look bad on me too strikes vogue pose
Every time I see Stefan Schumacher in the tour it completely puts me off getting one.

...or maybe he just has a massive noggin...

but imagine how cool it would be if they made EPO compulsory? mass sprints up mountains, alp-eating competitions, it'd rule.

Raleigh did equivalent with its..oh can't remember what it's called now, you know the one, 8130 or something. A vague bid to suggest it was an alternative to Reynolds and you were getting something good.
"18-23 Carbon Controlled tubing" or something like that I think...Well, that's what's on my Team Banana :)
