Even when properly positioned vehicularly "centerish" in the lane where motorists are more likely to be looking, a cyclist should always be prepared for a potential left hook, including mid-block. Same, by the way, goes for a motorcyclist.

Collisions like this should remind us not to rely on motorists seeing us. You have to stay alert in traffic, all the time.

Edit: Also, looking at the google image of the location posted above, it appears that there is no parking on this road. On this type of road, most cyclists, regardless of how fast they are riding and the lack of same-direction traffic, normally keep to the side, sadly (and in this case, perhaps tragically).
