Is it just me, or do other riders find that bus drivers in genral are particularly discourteous and somewhat aggressive when it comes to cyclists?
Here in Hobart I have had a number of run-ins with busses cutting in front of me, when simply by waiting a couple more seconds they could have pulled in to the bus stop after I had passed through. They also seem to take great delight in driving as close to the LH curb as possible, thereby forcing you to stop or at least giving you a bloody good fright.
I remember my school days in East Burwood (Vic). The busses along Burwood Hwy would do the same thing. I used to dread them coming and hop on the footpath to let them pass .
Last week I rode 480 km down east coast of Tasmania and a couple of tourist busses also were particularly aggressive towards our peleton. What is it with these guys?
