I just read the King link, which I think has been updated because it includes the cyclist's name. It also includes this quote

"He made an emergency right hand turn as sharp as he could to avoid the dump truck, but he was going way too fast. Shouldn't have been trying to pass a dump truck on the right hand side on the curb to begin with," said witness Doug Edwards.

!!! - I'm not from Seattle, but am I right in understanding that the cyclist was in a bike lane and not "trying to pass on the right" - if so, this guy needs educated and the article should never have quoted him without pointing that out! this is scary, if I understand the situation right.
I, too, have had trouble with cars passing me, then making sharp right turns in front of me - I never thought of it as this guy obviously does - like I'm trying to pass on the right and the car has the right to cut me off.
