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.
