On that note, this happens far too often. I'm cycling in the bus lane, up ahead there's a bus stopped, maybe 50 metres ahead. About 25 metres before I look back, looks clear, move out to second lane to overtake. As I get to about 5 metres from the back of the bus, someone who is still in the bus lane suddenly realises (as though a fucking huge bus stopped with its left indicator on and brake lights blazing wasn't obvious from more than 5 metres behind) that they need to pull out to overtake and just moves into my lane. It's not totally blocking my path but kind of inserting themselves into the gap between bus and me. It's my right of way isn't it? Why is there so many people who can't understand this? It's easy to predict and move out further when you see it about to happen but sometimes a car decides to overtake me thus restricting my ability to move out further and this making me part of an uncomfortable 2 meat sandwich between car and bus buns. I much prefer a single meat sandwich with plenty of mayo space either side.
