This sounds outrageous to me: a hit-and-run that could have killed
someone and the police imply it's not worth their time... And, the
driver (or at least the car) has been located and there are witnesses.
Do you have to die to get the police to take action or is it sufficient
to sustain a concussion and end up in the ER?

One place for your friend to start is on Bob Mionske's web page:
http://www.bicyclelaw.com/
Bob is an attorney in Portland, OR specializing in bike law. His web
site says he handles bike accidents in every state and welcomes calls
for free consultation. I'm sure he knows the dangers of the E Johnson
St bike lane from the many years he lived on the Isthmus.
