A cyclist can catch up while you slow to turn. Check mirrors early, signal and check the blind spot again near the conflict point. A mirror check several seconds earlier is not proof that the side of the car is still clear.
Lesson · Vulnerable road users
Turn across a cycle track without a blind-spot conflict
Keep the crossing clear while waiting to give way. Do not rely on a cyclist noticing your indicator or stopping for you. Also inspect the destination street for pedestrians; resolving the first conflict does not remove the next one.

Regulatory source ↗An adult cyclist travels beside a usable D7 track signed in that direction. No obstruction or special exception applies. Where should the cyclist ride?
