Correct answer
Yes, if the stated requirements are met.
Yes. Articles 85.4 and 88 allow overtaking a bicycle even where overtaking is prohibited, provided it is safe. Use part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane and leave at least 1.5 metres, without endangering or obstructing oncoming users, including those on the shoulder. Outside built-up areas, travel at least 20 km/h below the road limit from before starting and throughout the manoeuvre. Where there is more than one lane per direction, a complete lane change is required. These precautions reduce risk rather than guaranteeing no accident.
