Yeah, that did occur to me.
To be honest, I don't like arguing with other cyclists (just composing holier-than-thou rants about them on here, amirite?).
It was just one of those tricky situations where the 'done thing' (accelerating to prevent the bus getting out, hence avoiding inconveniencing the riders behind me) is not necessarily the best option.
Perhaps I should have gone with the flow and made the bus wait.
It's the sort of logic that drivers give after they tailgate and slam into the back of people.
