My only complaint is getting stuck behind a buss on a hot day.. The diesel engines bleed heat like nooo tommorrow. But, that they cruise at 25 - 30, up hill, I've got no chance to pas them on the hills.

On flat land in the city, I'll pass a buss on the left, but rarely on the right, especially between it and parked cars. Bus drivers in San Diego are generally very nice and give a lot of room when they see you. I've found it helpful to get eyecontact in a mirror, and usually, you can tell what the bus driver is going to do. Some of them have such a steely gaze that I lay off or change streets.

But on a 90 degree day, behind a buss going up hill is like getting into an oven.
