From: Fredericksburg, VA to Fort Belvoir by VRE and bike

Bikes: 2006 Trek 1000 SL, 1995 Performance 505 MTB, 2012 Trek 520 (my daily commuter)

Nice ride, no rain, from the VRE station to Fort Belvoir until I had a run in with a Fairfax Connector bus. I just caught a red light as I rolled under the light. I was in the bike lane, no cross traffic waiting. I heard the bus accelerating hard, run the light, get just past me and merge right across my lane, cutting me off to pull into a bus lane. Had to hit the brakes hard and swerve into the traffic lane to miss hitting him.
At least I got an email and a phone call back from the county when I sent a complaint via email with the time, road, bus and route number.
