Glad your outcome was mostly postive, Chez. You weren't hurt, your bike's OK, and the offender is sympathetic and acting responsibly. The last time I got right-hooked the driver sped off leaving me on the ground.

Yes, bike lanes are evil, and there's probably nothing you could have done to avoid the accident; had you been less alert, it probably would have been worse.

Without the bike lane, she would have had to deal with your presence as part of the traffic flow, even if only as a bike in the right side of her lane that had to be passed. Bile lanes make it too easy for drivers to tune us out.

These sorts of close encounters make subsequent ones easier. You get over it, and your situational awareness ramps up another notch.
