Default Route 73 - no longer better from every angle

Also, with three doors you can't pass it on the nearside (preferred in the
above case because I'm turning left just after the stop) anything like as
easily as a Routemaster either.

A cyclist should *never* pass a bus of any kind at a stop on the
nearside. It is highly dangerous for both cyclist and any alighting
passengers, not to mention spectacular for any onlookers when the
inevitable does happen.

(Of course, if the bus is correctly pulled into the stop you wouldn't
be able to, but that is beside the point, and sometimes a bus can't
pull all the way in due to inconsiderately parked cars, for example).
