lol, Unfortunately route won't matter the bus runs up every street I would take on my return trip. Better get faster because slowing down ain't gonna happen.

I hit my airzound horn a few short bursts as I go by. My hope is that for a brief moment people will stop to wonder what that was and I can go by and nobody is hurt. I don't like the idea of going around to the left.
Ya, that is my fear of the sidewalk passing.

I understand that but because of the width of the bus and the width of the bike lane is sticks me in the middle of the road and because of the unpredictability of the bus taking off I don't wanna get shoved out by mister bus man trying to get back in his lane.
