You should be cautious when passing a bicycle:

If the cyclist is riding in traffic and not in a bicycle lane.
Only if you are in a no-passing zone.
Because cyclists may suddenly swerve to avoid hazards on the road.
None of the above.
Explanation

Bicyclists may legally ride on Michigan roads and are allowed to use the full lane while traveling with traffic. When passing a bicycle, always be cautious - cyclists are more vulnerable than other road users and may need to swerve to avoid hazards. Give at least 3 feet of space when passing, and do not return to your lane until you are safely clear of the bicycle. Remember, cyclists are not required to use a bike lane and may exit it to avoid debris or obstacles.
