Mike,

I had a similar incident here in Colorado. I was out riding home after a training ride on vacant streets with a buddy. The bus(RTD) flew by us with very little space between us and it. Fortunately my friend had video of the bus coming and going. I sent this along with an Email to the bus company and they said they'd look into it. I enquired as to what was being done and I got crickets. In subsequent weeks the bus(same time, same place) has given me >5'. I think someone may have gotten the message.

As far as announcing that you are passing. Seems like common sense but not everyone has that. I also use a bell.

Cheers,

Derek

Thanks you all for your input. It wasn’t bad enough to file a police report. I did call 311 and they took my statement and gave me a couple of emails to send my photos to.

I’ve not heard back from anyone yet. I might be up to a week before I do.

About the incident, my wife and I were riding southbound on Pennsylvania between Candelaria and Menaul in the middle of the bike lane, single file about 20 feet apart, I was behind. A small city bus, going faster than the rest of the traffic came within a foot of us each just coming into the bike lane with it’s tires. The red light at Menaul allowed me to catch the driver. He was flippant, dismissive and aggressive.

I got photos of the bus numbers and the driver, that’s what I emailed to the city.

Be careful out there,
mike
