It's more often the other way round (other than in almost stationary
traffic when in effect cycles are moving ion a virtual lane). Buses cut
in on cyclists. Some cycle lanes actively encourage it by stopping at bus
stops.

This is true, and it's happened to me a few times. In the
Netherlands, however, bus drivers seem quite happy to pull in behind
the cyclist without being intimidating if it is not safe to overtake
in the space available before the stop.

It's another world, sadly.
