This requires cars to pass in the other lane as a car and a bike cannot coexist in the sub-standard width lanes with the required 3 feet of clearance. Again, most cyclist are in the right third of the lane but cars need to move into the other lane to pass in a safe, lawful manner. You will often see cyclist move from the right most third of the lane to the center of the lanes. This is for safety reasons. This will often occur near the roundabouts and on two lane road on a curve with a double solid line. Again, this is for safely reasons. This is not rocket science. Give cyclists a wide birth and pass in a lawful manner (move to the left lane).
