According to Article 85.4 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), when overtaking cyclists you must keep a safety gap of at least 1.5 metres and, outside built-up areas, reduce your speed by at least 20 km/h below the road's speed limit. A group of cyclists is treated as a single moving unit, so you overtake them all at once.
