I noticed a couple of the earlier cars did not even put one set of wheels over the centerline as they passed. Probably because of that oncoming traffic. Of course, they were not school buses so it mattered less. Thing is... had any part of that bus whacked you... your camera would never have shown it. What it would show is you riding more to the left of the bike lane than in the center or to the right and... ... lawyers being what they are... ...

Are you serious? After your response to my post and now this, I'm starting to think you're just trolling.
#1 it's not a bike lane, it's a shoulder. He is under no obligation to ride in it, and with the storm drains along the right edge, his position is as close to the right as practicable.
#2 there's a center turn lane with no oncoming traffic waiting to turn left, so the bus should have moved over when passing.
That bus driver should be fired and taken off the roads. Degnaw, if contact by email didn't work, I think a visit to the superintendent's office is in order. What if you had been a child walking along the side of the road? Someone not paying attention could be clipped by the bus's mirror.
