    Where I come from the "fast lane" is a common colloquialism for lane 2 which people use to overtake and by design go faster than other cars. Therefore the fast lane.

    So what do you call lane 3 where you come from?

    By his logic it has to be the fastest lane.

    From what I've seen some people don't need a fast lane to overtake they use whatever lane is available.

    How come the cyclist didn't hear there was a car behind him? Unless of course he had earphones on which would make the OPs case better.
    You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

    It does sound like the cyclist rides there everyday and was intending to head for the start of the cycle lane by the shortest route. If there was no signal, no looking back before a sudden turn towards a cycle lane that the OP couldn't see then I don't see how the OP should be expected to predict that other than being wary of a cyclist just because they are a cyclist. So yes, demand the helmet cam footage to show whether the cyclist looked back before manoeuvring and how sharply they turned.
    I need to think of something new here...
