Here where I live and ride, I'm pretty sure buzzing cyclists is a "sport' among bus drivers. They actually seem to wait on you, and then try to take you out. Happens easily several times a week. Just yesterday, a bus sitting at a stop sign waited... no cars were in front of me, I was travelling at about 20-22mph and just as I got to within about 50' of where he was waiting, he pulled out and took as wide a turn as he could, leaving me no option but to basically stop. He saw me, he was looking right at me. I'd really like to infiltrate their driver meetings to find out how loud the chuckles are when they compare stories.
