Becker was charged with careless use of a motor vehicle causing death. He pleaded not guilty and is on trial at Auckland District Court.
Under cross-examination by Becker's lawyer Kevin Brosnahan, Mr Puleiku said he never expected anyone to overtake him on his lefthand side.
His son, Junior Puleiku, was in the passenger seat. He told Mr Brosnahan that he saw Becker check for traffic as they rounded the corner near Kelly Tarlton's.
Ms Bishop's friend, flatmate and colleague Sara Payne told the court today she was running home along Tamaki Drive and knew something was wrong when fire engines rushed past her.
Ms Payne said she knew Ms Bishop had left work before her and her worst fears were confirmed when she stopped and talked to three men, one of whom described the distinctive front basket on Ms Bishop's bike.
She said her friend would normally ride in the bike lane on the footpath.
Other witnesses described seeing maybe one other cyclist on the road but many others on the footpath.
Gerald Hutchinson, who was on holiday from Melbourne, was a passenger in his brother-in-law's car.
They were on their way to the beach and about three cars behind Mr Puleiku's truck.
Giving evidence by video-link from Melbourne today, Mr Hutchinson said Ms Bishop passed only inches from his car door.
"I realised the cyclist was going roughly 20km an hour. She was too close to the curb and the car doors... I was telling my mates that perhaps she is going to get hit by a car door. I said there would be an accident and there was.''
He said he could see a car, parked about three cars ahead, with its door open when the accident happened.
"I was traumatised. I came there for a holiday because my mum had passed away from cancer.''
The trial is due to finish on Thursday.
