BusBiker - how exactly does Metro explain this to drivers? I understand preventing cyclists from passing buses on the right (I don't do this either - the lanes are too narrow to share in most all cases downtown Seattle) but I have been curb pinched by buses several times in the past year. Yes, I take the lane which makes this even more of an issue for me - the buses forced me over from my position in the left side of the lane to the curb. Does Metro make it clear what the difference is between taking a lane with the bus and a executing a dangerous curb pinch to the cyclist?
