If this is a likelihood (don't rely on drivers using their directionals), the rider stops and allows the traffic to pass. When it is safe to resume, the rider does so after double checking behind them.
Or the rider can (should) use the right-most through lane and avoid being on in the right turn lane; you know, like traffic. For your reference, MNDOT defines a bicycle as a vehicle with the same rights and responsibilities to use the road*. I will not ride my bike to the right of a right turn lane when I plan to go straight through the intersection.
