Explanation
With a bicyclist to your right, the safe thing to do would normally be to move left to allow a wide margin when you pass. However, if there is also an oncoming vehicle, you should handle this situation by facing only one traffic condition at a time. First, slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass. Then move to the left to pass the bicyclist, leaving a sufficient amount of space for safety.
