As he's about half way pass the right lane i begin passing him at about 25mph and and hes starts honking away at me even after i've passed him. I counted maybe 10-15 honks. Mind you, this was in brooklyn, the buses in the city are much more courteous and always let me pass before they take off from their bus stop.
Ok, so I wasn't just imagining things. The dude who drives the bus on 3rd Ave (brooklyn) that passes me every day is trying pretty damn hard to cut it close. I always have to slam on the break as he cuts through the bike lane right in front of me to get to the bus stop. Its been scary enough that now, if I see that guy coming I slow down and let him pass faaaar ahead of me, or make sure I can get ahead of him by a couple lights.
And I ride 6th Ave (manhattan) from 17th to 49th every morning, so I don't scare easy.
