I'm happy to say I have never encountered this during my riding. I think this would be cause to chase the offending cyclist down utilize 'bike pump justice'
Did you read the thread cited by the OP?
In that thread I stated that no child was put in danger by passing a stopped bus (with lights on) ten feet on the right, while no child was actually present. I'm not anxious to save 5 or 10 or 60 or 120 seconds, I was just saying that the OP of the bus thread didn't do anything drastically wrong since no children were in any danger.
