The rules of the world today are that bicyclists have the right of way above cars, trucks, and other automobiles. Being a cyclist is very dangerous you just have your helmet to protect and not much else. While a driver of a car has their entire vehicle to protect them. Many cities such as Portland, have created designated bike lanes to help protect the cyclists when they are riding around towns. The only issue with that is not all drivers pay attention to these bike lanes when making turns. If you a cyclist and are hit you should be getting in contact with a Portland bicycle accident lawyer.
