@bretdevereaux.bsky.social The important thing for coordination is for each road user to behave in ways that are predictable to other road users. That means following the law, so I agree with you. But operators of large metal boxes easily able to kill more vulnerable users must give them adequate space.

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social In some places (like my home state of Colorado) passing a driver within 3 feet is illegal, and in that case the law encodes an appropriate expectation. In places without such a law, drivers might be technically following the law to speed past a cyclist with 6” gap but that’s still a dick move.

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social The more vulnerable road user should always take priority - that means cyclists ought to yield to pedestrians and give them space, just as automobiles ought to yield to cyclists and give them space.
