ok ... didn't come over like that to meGo back and read it again...
I will usually (pretty much always) pass a cyclist by driving on the other side of the road.
I'm not sure if it's just cyclists, but people in general seem a lot more agressive on the roads than they used to be.
Not sure about leaving 1M to pass a cyclist, I tend to give them the same amount of room I would if they were in a car.
sounded like you might leave just <1m for both cars and bikes, I'd usually leave less space for a car than a bike, especially oncoming, since they are much less predictable, and vulnerable. .. but I didn't go back to your earlier posts in this thread.
