Go around them at a safe pace and clearance. If you can't do that, get off the bike and walk around them.
This is my attitude as well. The
right to walk around as we please is fundamental. I certainly would prefer it if pedestrians and various other path and road users would all behave in a polite fashion, but we as cyclists generally have no special privileges in this area. This 'stay to the right' stuff is just a suggestion, a request.
