<DIV><SPAN class=300332114-17052006><FONT face=Arial size=2>So this morning, I
almost got sideswiped and pinned by an MBTA bus. I have notified the MBTA,
Badtransit and T-Rage. I'll fill out an incident report with the cops after
work. Is there anything else I should do?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><SPAN class=377105413-17052006><FONT face=Arial>This morning
at approximately 8:43 AM I was biking on Mass Ave when a Route 1 bus honked at
me 3 times and proceeded to accelerate and cut me off. I was riding respectfully
as far over to the right as I could and there was plenty of room to pass, even
for a bus. The problem I want to address in this e-mail is: I should not have to
worry about dying on our city's streets because your bus driver
thinks she owns the road. Fortunately for me, I was able to slam the breaks
and turn sharply to the right before hitting a parked car or being pinned by the
bus.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

plate of the bus is: 2294. You can expect a police report
filed.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
