Consecutive bicycle work commute number 811:
Last night on the way home from work I had a school bus do a total jerk move. I was buzzing down a hill moving at a decent pace. Suddenly I hear an engine roar and look in my mirror to see a school bus gunning its engine and pulling out to pass. As soon as the bus got ahead of me by a few yards the driver pulled back into the lane, jammed on the brakes to come to a stop and put the red flashers on to let a student out. There was no practical reason for him to do that, so I can only assume the bus driver did it on purpose.
This morning was pretty nice. 60 degrees, but the humidity was lower so it felt pretty decent. It was somewhat overcast and I had a 12 mph headwind, but overall the commute was pleasant. The section of the MUP I use to get downtown is finally all above water, so that makes the ride much more fun.
