Glad he's okay but not completely the drivers fault. Had he looked over his shoulder before moving over he would have seen the truck coming up. That being said, clearly a very large part of the blame lies with the truck driver since the bicycle lane is clearly marked and they obviously had to move over or be in the middle of the highway. Thankfully, the cyclist didn't pulled under the truck and only got "nicked" by it, sort of. One very lucky guy and kudos to his friends to act so quickly in getting him off the road and other motorists for stopping too.
