Explanation
Cyclists are considered part of the normal traffic flow and have the right to share the road with other drivers. When approaching or attempting to pass a bicyclist, treating them as any other vehicle ensures their safety. Lightly tapping the horn alerts the cyclist to your presence without startling them. Waiting for clear traffic in the opposite lane before passing ensures you can safely move around the cyclist without squeezing past them, which could be dangerous.
