I don't believe the lanes on Morse and Buena Vista are 14 feet wide which FL deems the minimum width to allow cars to pass bikes safely without entering the other lane. Bikes are allowed space from the gutter for safety and visibility, usually about 3 feet. When you add the 3 foot minimum space you must give a bike when passing to the 2.5 feet standard width of a bike and rider, that puts a normal width car into the next lane. Why not make it a completely safe maneuver and just give the bike the entire lane when passing instead of trying to squeeze by and create a stressful situation?
BTW, thanks for the advice, but I don't ride. I just watch out for others when in a car or cart so I don't endanger lives either way.
