Isn't that pretty much why you always cycle with the direction of traffic? As a runner, I've been told to run against the flow for safety but almost always run into these types of situations (which is why I mostly go out of my way to run behind the cars stopped at intersections.)

I think the situation being described is more like:

    ___      ↱↑____
       |   | TB|
       |       |
       |   |   |

(where T is the truck, and B the bike, natch).

no, other way around cycle against traffic to avoid right turn hit as you will be on the left side and see the trucks left turn ahead of time
