To the OP, I recommend using a mirror, and taking the lane to discourage being buzzed. Buses are particularly spooky since they usually have the engine in the rear, and they are silent until they are next to you.
Yeah good, point on taking the lane. In this case riding as close to the parked cars as prudent was basically the center of the lane. I should probably clarify that in the letter, since I'm sure the driver will be quick to point it out.
