Opinion of the Court

—Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and motion denied.

Strauss (defendant) and the comparative negligence of Joseph Yacoub (plaintiff) (see, Hollenbaugh v Frontier Asphalt, 231 AD2d 865). Those issues of fact include the speed at which plaintiffs bicycle was traveling and whether defendant’s vision was obscured by a slow-moving vehicle in the oncoming lane.

Present — Denman, P. J., Hayes, Balio, Boehm and Fallon, JJ.
