Is a bicyclist at fault if a vehicle hits them while riding against the flow of traffic in the bike lane?
Yes. All traffic must go the correct way. the cyclist has done the equivalent of going the wrong way along the road, so they are At Fault.
Another View: On streets that have only one bike lane marked it may become necessary for bikers to ride against the flow of traffic. In that case, if the car crossed the line dividing the vehicle lane from the bike lane, the vehicle would be at fault. Of course, as with ALL collisions, it may become vital to actually determine the point-of-impact (POI) to determine who actually struck who.
