I would have no problem with a car merging into the bike lane for a right turn as long as it didn't hit me. I'd just follow it. I only pass stopped cars on the right if there's a bike lane.

Approaching an intersection, I watch every car that's approaching, passing, or has recently passed for a lit turn signal. I use a helmet mirror.



A somewhat rare intelligence in the cycling world.

I see at least as many cyclists at fault in right hook situations as motorists.
