Yes you and your bike can share the road with cars! Yes you and your car can share the road with a bike! If everyone plays by the same rules and plays safely!
Motorists in many jurisdictions are required to provide a minimum number of feet when passing a bicyclist, while other jurisdictions just denote a safe distance, check your local laws for more information. Motorists are also required to yield to bicyclists in many instances.
It is not just up to drivers to play nice, bicyclists in many regions must follow regulations about cycling on the road from obeying all vehicle traffic laws to helmet laws. Though not required wearing bright clothes and reflective gear will help make your shared time on the road much safer.
Before playing together motorists and cyclists should know the rules of the road for their region so everyone can play nice! But as always just in case make sure you are covered for that unexpected accident, or situation.
