This does not mean stopping or turning right in front of a cyclist. Give cyclists some consideration. We cannot stop immediately. Even at 15 mph, it takes several feet to stop. We try to ride as close to the right side of the road or white line, but there are times when objects on the side of the road that will take a rider down, such as loose gravel or broken glass, require a detour by the cyclist.
Drivers can cause the death of a fellow human that is totally unnecessary.
One more cyclist on the road means one less car in front of you and more fuel for everyone. With higher gasoline prices, expect more cyclists, and just think how much cleaner our world would be if more of us rode bikes to work.
