Talk about "driving in a blind spot", plus the roads were not designed for bicycles. It's a safety issue, and bicycles and motorcyles are at a decided disadvantage when up against two ton cars, four ton trucks, ten ton buses, and 80,000 pound semi tractor trucks.
blind spot argument would be pretty tough in this case... bike rider was directly in front of the bus driver....
