Cycle Commuters: Watch out for school buses

I’m a daily cycle commuter, and 75%+ of the close encounters I have are with school buses. I usually leave the house in the mornings around 6am, and the school buses are out in force. I’ve had them scrape by me and make a quick right hand turn, or brush by me trying to beat me to the light. I know I’m not fast, but I deserve a little extra room when passing. I’m afraid that a disability appeal may be in my future if the school buses don’t start showing a little courtesy.
