If you can go around the obstruction without leaving your lane, then it's no problem. Just like a car, if you want to change lanes, you first have to yield to the cars that are already there. And if there's no opening, you wait.

I don't think I've ever seen a marked bike lane that's only 1-2 feet wide.
