You are misunderstanding my point. Bike paths tend to be 11 feet wide. If you are riding down the middle of your side and someone coming at you is riding down the middle of their side, there is less than 6 feet between you. If you ride on the very edge of your side and the other user is on the very edge of there side, you'll be separated by 9 to 10 feet but even that distance is small for even highly focused beams.
