Looks like parts of the roads I mentioned above.
Your action as a driver: slow until the oncoming truck passes, then put your left wheels over the centerline and pass the rider with a couple feet clearance.
It will delay you about 30 seconds. Far less than Hugh R's motorhome will delay you when you come upon it. Bummer, but read the law of your state: cars do NOT have exclusive use of that road.
The rider's action: Stay to the right to the extent possible, in this case he can't be to the right of the white line (the roadway ends there) but he can be nearly on it, and don't dilly-dally, ride like you mean it and get out of that narrow part as quickly as you can.

Here's a very real perspective I face frequently:
Imagine you are doing 40mph and so is the oncoming vehicle as you come around this blind curve, except it's a truck.
There is a bike in the middle of the lane in front of you.
What are your options?
This screen shot is about two miles from our place and this is a very real scenario I have faced often over the last 23 years.
