Correct answer
Because they are more likely to fall.
Cyclists are highly vulnerable road users. If it is windy, overtaking them can destabilise them and cause them to fall. In the rain, if we pass very close to them, they may be startled by water splashes, which could cause them to fall. The road surface also becomes very dangerous for them when it is wet.
