As a driver, you need to respect that cyclists have the right to share the road. Here are some tips to help you share the road:

if a lane is too narrow to safely share, cyclists are entitled to the whole travel lane
give cyclists enough room for their safety
avoid honking because it might startle cyclists, causing them to swerve
leave lots of space when passing cyclists
signal all turns and lane changes
