In CA bicycles are basically considered motor vehicles for the purposes of traffic laws and the only exceptions to double yellow lines are in/out of a private driveway and u-turns.
CA's 3 foot law passed in 2014 doesnt change the prohibition of crossing the double yellow to pass a car or cyclist.
All that being said, you probably would not get a ticket if you passed a cyclist and it was safe to do so by crossing the double yellow line and gave three feet.
