    Sounds like the car is at fault. The car suppose to change lanes behind the bike. But we still need more detail. Was the car trying to make a right turn at an intersection, changing lanes? I think that bicycles are suppose to be treated as a pedestrian, but I'm not really sure about that.

    No. The car did not give right of way.

          did the bike rider get away? or did they catch him...because if he got away more than likely that's it...i doubt the police would waste their time on finding a hit and run bicyclist...well in populated california cities at least...here in san luis cops will go out of there way to chase a bicyclist and give em a ticket.
