The two-way lanes has limited access points. One of those is at the intersection just after where she was hit.

And the truck was illegally off route. Caton is the truck route, not Parkside.

I agree the truck shouldn’t have been on that road. This also applies to cyclist not using the two-way bike lane when one is present. If the bike lane isn’t safe, and the street isn’t safe, get off the bike and walk.

Your life isn’t worth proving a point.

The bike lane has limited access points. You can't use it if you can't get in it. She was riding in the street to the next intersection where you enter the lane.

She wasn't proving a point, she was just trying to commute and didn't do anything wrong. 100% of the blame is on the truck that didn't exercise due care and was off route. You know, actual law breaking.
