Motorists must yield the right-of-way to bicyclists.
Do not attempt to share the lane with bicyclists.
If you are unable to safely pass them, reduce your speed, and follow the bicycle at a safe distance. Wait for a safe opportunity to pass, allowing adequate clearance, about three feet from the side of your vehicle, and return to your lane when you can clearly see the bicyclist in your rear view mirror.
A bicycle is not restricted to the right side of the road.
Share the road and do not use your horn. The bicyclist can usually hear an approaching vehicle and loud noises can startle the bicyclist and may cause an accident.

What’s up with the referenced web page? The MVA’s website is a government site with a domain name of:
mva.state.md.us
Why isn’t the domain name the same?

Ok… Going to mva.state.md.us, I found: The Maryland Driver’s Handbook
Guide Two contains:
The rules of the road for cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians and bicyclists.
PDF pages 54-56 (document pages 52-54) contain the guidance addressed to bicyclists/drivers for sharing the road.
