Some advice and a lot of first-hand anecdotes and observations from someone who accidentally had a career in the bike business.

Afternoon Training Hazard
Maybe this was only a Maryland thing. It hasn't happened up here. But I don't go out to train at the time school buses are carrying pent-up kids home from their daily incarceration anymore.
Well, call me rhymes-with-itch, but I'd put up with that for like one nanosecond. Busses have numbers with which one can identify the little charmers who ride in them. Persecute them, I say!!
Waaay back when I was in middle school, one of my *ahem* friends used to throw oranges and other snacks at cyclists as we passed in the bus. This was in Japan, so these cyclists were typically little old women on their "mamachari" utility bikes. It wasn't very nice.
My friend, Hiroshi, is now a college professor in New York. He's a wild eyed radical environmentalist but he still drives a car everywhere he goes.

I'm with anon, for the sake of the charmers as well as the riders. Hopefully admins would have the backbone to notice.
