White van behind me was reluctant to let me out and while he did not hit me, pushed past sharpish once I'd passed the stationary bus. I was mildly surprised when the van passed me as it turned out to be an Edinburgh Council vehicle. Can't find an appropriate place to raise this with Edinburgh Council. It's not the first time I've noticed poor cycle awareness from council vehicles. This one was ST55 XHL, so give the driver a wave if you see it :-)
