Question 7219
Is it advisable to take special care when passing a group of cyclists on long climbs?
- No; passing cyclists poses no risk at all.
- Only if a cyclist is drinking a liquid or eating solid food.
- Yes, because the effort of pedaling can cause them to make sudden changes in their path of travel.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because the effort of pedaling can cause them to make sudden changes in their path of travel.
Yes. On a long climb, the effort of pedaling makes cyclists sway from side to side, and they may change their path suddenly, so use extra caution when passing them and leave plenty of room. That risk exists even if no one is drinking or eating.
