I had quite a few close passes today but the closest passes were driving slowly so I didn't pay them any attention after I cooled off.

If they pass slowly enough they can get pretty close without any real danger.

If when you're riding a bicycle and you can touch a passing vehicle with your outstretched arm then the vehicle is within the 3 feet safe passing zone now mandated by many areas.

In Oregon, it doesn't apply when a bicycle is in a bike lane. So you can get buses (for example) passing with an inch clearance if you get near the edge of the bike lane. They sort of wobble into the bike lane anyway, but then they're clearly violating cyclist right of way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EofYCu0Rng But that doesn't seem to bother them. Frank will love that bike lane. I avoid getting squished by buses in a lane-less spot on the way home by . . . drum roll please . . . taking the lane. Right he https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgYXYtzbv0w
