> This one time a van cut me off turning right across a bike lane while I was cruising at approx. 25mph on 8th St. in SF When approaching an intersection, it's best to ride in the general traffic lane that corresponds to the direction you plan to go. Trying to overtake traffic that may turn right on the right will almost certainly result in what happened to you. CVC (California Vehicle Code) makes an exception to the requirement to ride in the bike lane where right turns are authorized in 21208 (4) [1].
