Depending on the weather, you might notice more cyclists out as more people take off work for the holidays. As you pass, stay alert and go slow.
100% Focus
Hundreds of cyclists die every year in traffic accidents. The holiday rush only makes the environment more dangerous for both drivers and bicyclists. So as a driver, when you notice that you're approaching a cyclist, take every precaution, especially if you suspect he or she is older.
Slow down. Plan ahead what you might do if they swerve into your lane (that's why going slow is so important). Try to stay as for left as possible without interfering with oncoming traffic. And most importantly, remove yourself from any distractions, especially your phone. You need 100% of your focus dedicated to passing this cyclist safely.
