Correct answer
- Bdejar una separación lateral suficiente, ya que se pueden desestabilizar con facilidad.leave enough side distance, because they can easily be knocked off balance.
Explanation
In wind, cyclists can be knocked off balance and swerve sideways suddenly. When overtaking them you must leave a wide side gap, always at least 1.5 metres, and reduce speed. Using the horn close to them can startle them and make them lose their balance.
