I figure 7 feet for a car, 2 feet for the bike, a minimum of 3 feet clearance, most cyclists are at least 2 feet inside the white line (as they should be because you can't hug the curb), and most cars are a couple of feet inside the center line. Add it all up and you are looking at about 16 feet. Even if the driver was hugging the center lane, you are looking at 14 feet. None of the roads are that wide.

Would you agree that the law indicates you need to give a bike 3 ft to pass?
36+90=126 10 1/2 ft
You bike. How far is your front wheel to the curb? 1 1/2 ft?
Oh sh.., That's 12 ft. [i'll go away now,,,]
