Correct answer
- ADejar una separación lateral suficiente, por las posibles oscilaciones al pedalear.Leave enough side space, because of the possible swaying when pedalling.
Explanation
When going uphill, a cyclist pedals with more effort and goes more slowly, so they often sway from side to side. When overtaking, you must leave a wide side gap of at least 1.5 metres. Sounding the horn close to them can startle them and make them lose their balance.
