?? The parked car(s) are irrelevant. There
should be very little space between the parked cars and the curb. The car in motion, that's where the action is. As I see it, there was just enough room for two cyclists riding abreast to squeeze between the car in motion and the parked one. While not NICE, it wasn't dangerous and the speed of the pass also matters. This is why I don't rant about every little close pass or aggressive or clueless action. Where would you stop?
