I had a little drama coming home last night. Bus passed me too close and gave me the wobbles. Unusual, because most of our bus drivers seem to be really courteous, and indeed a lot of them are cyclists. Lucky I was very nearly at the point where there is a gap in the curb for entry to the MUP, so I bolted onto it. Otherwise the back wheels of the bus would have got me at the corner (about 20 ft further) as the bus turned. What's most unsettling is that there was nothing I could have done better. I don't ride beside buses or trucks but in this case he overtook me just before the corner.
