Just left the green light at 8th & Figueroa heading north on the east side of street. Just as I crossed through the intersection the bus sideswiped me and I pushed off the bus with my left hand which forced me to the curb and down onto the sidewalk. Bus kept right on going. Another bus driver behind hte one who hit me saw the whole thing. I straitened out my handlebars and rode up to that bus, but he wouldn't open his doors and just pointed to the bus ahead at the next intersection. Add note to this report
