Very dangerous, very fun
Very hated by bus drivers......"If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you".....
Of course.....now that I'm an EX-bus-driver.....& a cyclist......very dangerous, very fun.....
Try to hold a position where you can see the right side mirror.....Some sporting drivers may think you might know what you're doing.....& govern their speed so you can keep up......Don't count on it unless you can crank at least 30 MPH & have that Bike Messenger "handling" look....In other words......"Crazy guy....likes to play in traffic"....
Be aware that the bus driver might actually hate dare-devil cyclists so much that he's going to slam on the brakes to smash you like a bug on the back of the bus....This is the bus driver version of....."Going Postal".....
I didn't say any of the above.....
