If there is no bike lane, than it is still your responsibility to yield, since you are to the right of traffic that you are allowing to pass.
if vehicles passing me from the rear have right-of-way, how can I also be “allowing them to pass”?
By choosing to ride as far right as possible, you are yielding the right of way to those behind you in the lane space to your left. It is not unreasonable to describe this situation as "allowing them to pass" (within the same lane that you are in).
