what on earth is happening in this clip - looks like some sort of pissed up homo

of course, if he tried it on a younger cyclist who managed to overpower him, the rider would be in the dock by now

i literally got off the road the other night and just cycled along the pavement when a massive double decker came towards me on a narrow road with cars parked, fuck that

'Pissed up homo'.

Society called, it wants you to get in touch.

What? Do you have to go on a course to drive a bus?

Regardless of provocation, I suspect that he is not someone that should be allowed to drive a bus.

I think about 90% of bus drivers shouldn't be allowed to drive a bus. They are the worst drivers out there... professionals my arse.

Arriva's response seems par for the course for bus companies too. They might as well say he was asking for it.

Yeah, taxi drivers are derfinitely the worst.  At least a bus is bigger and wider and they have less room.  The number of times taxis pass me too close is massively higher than buses

Absolutely agreed, and also they have to deal with a lot more people which is not an easy thing. Also, they tend to be less verbally abusive towards cyclists, although I have an experience of it happening by a supposed bus driver claiming to be a Pinarello rider, who had to emphasize that his bike was better than mine the guy should have joined a theatre to have the violins in his background for dramatic effect....

Not in my experience. Had far worse passes, aggression and plain dangerous situations from buses than taxis over the years. Anecdotal but hey ho.
