Bikers are not required by law to yield to carts and autos. They are entitled to their space on the road, equally to cars and carts.
It is also not mandatory that a bike pull off onto the shoulder where all the broken glass and muffler pieces are laying, in order to make it easier for cars to pass.
Cars should not attempt to pass a bicyclist by squeezing between the bike and the center line. They should wait until they have clear vision and can ascertain they have sufficient room ahead in the oncoming lane to use it to pass and give the bike plenty of room when they pass.
