Bus drivers in London are a menace to cyclists, often
overtaking with inches to spare, then pulling in and slamming the
brakes on. They are loud and stink. Taxi's aren't much better when
it
comes to running you off the road.

Cyclists who have that problem have usually created it for themselves
by riding too close to the kerb.

As everyone will tell you, read John Franklin's "Cyclecraft", the
stuff about primary and secondary positions.
