Sometimes, a bicyclist may have to move into the driving lane to avoid an obstacle or when descending a steep curved road. Collisions between a car and a bicycle are far more likely to injure the bicyclist. I urge motorists to watch for bikes and pass on the left only when it is safe. Honking should be minimized as it may startle the bicyclist. Public roads are for everyone.
Mutual courtesy goes a long way.
