I am SO GODDAMN SICK of bus and taxi drivers in this city trying to bully me into using the sidewalk cycle path on Botley Road. And there's nothing I can do or say in response -- if they had enough perspective to understand any traffic concern other than "I should be able to go fast at all times", then they wouldn't be bullying me, would they?

Cycle mounted video camera and pass the footage onto the police and bus companies? Or just inform the bus companies that you have bought such a camera and you will be passing the footage on to the police, perhaps?

I think that's probably the worst bit for bullying in Oxford.

I've had busses on Botley road just lay on the horn.

Actually I've had vastly more problems with busses there than anywhere else. For instance on Marston Road I've never had any problems at all, and I'm on it far more than Botley. Maybe the route that comes in on Botley is a difficult one and they tend to run late?

Is this something where you could ask police for extra patrols (people aren't doing anything illegal, but police presence might encourage courtesy)? Or is there an alderman or something who might be able to do something useful?

Though I suppose if their behavior never rises from "annoying" to "hazardous", you are probably stuck sucking it up :/.
