I got right-hooked by a driver last week for the first time. It was under similar circumstances, although there was no bike lane. I was going uphill at the time and a car came up beside me, and the next thing I knew they were turning right. I just reacted and turned with the car, so I didn't get hit. I shook my fist at the driver and she briefly stopped, and then drove on. I would be willing to bet that she was talking on the phone or otherwise distracted at the time. The scary part was that another car turned into the lot right after the women forced me into it, and the second car almost hit me too.

I would be willing to bet money that the driver saw me but was distracted or underestimated my speed. I was wearing a neon yellow-green vest or jacket, and I have 3 tail-lights, one of which is a Dinotte. There is no way she didn't see me unless she was half blind.
