but the whole point of giving cyclists (and horses) space when you pass is that they might wobble, either because you startle them or because there's something in their path or because they're a bit wobbly.
presumably if a motorbike came around the corner it would be faster, she would have even less time to react, there would be even less space for it to pass without being hit. I guess she might think to attempt to brake though. y'know, hitting a motorbike might hurt you.
