This nearly happened to me with a school bus turning immediately after getting to the left of me and then turning right. I was just riding along and the next thing I knew there was a big yellow school bus about five feet directly in front of me. I reacted fast by bunny hopping the curve clear up onto the sidewalk and then ran up in someone's yard to avoid getting ran over by the back of the school bus.There was no time to think, my instincts kicked in and I just tried to get away from the bus as fast as I could. I was lucky but I can see how easily this poor guy could have been hit. Basically the bike lane puts you in that same position next to the truck just like I was with the bus and it is so dangerous. That article was so sad to read.
