Share the Road - Buses and Bicycles from Chicago Bicycle Program on Vimeo.

This is a great video for both cyclists and bus operators.  The most common bus/bicycle collision occurs when a bicyclist is on the right hand side of the bus and the bus pulls to the curb to pickup or drop off passengers.  This video makes it clear that bus operators should maintain speed when passing a cyclist.  Cyclists can be trapped when a bus quickly decelerates and moves to the curb, creating a potentially deadly situation.  Accordingly, cyclists should never pass a stopped bus on the right, and they should anticipate that a bus may move to the curb.
