Around here, I don't mind them too much (assuming traffic isn't too heavy). If they move to one side, there's usually room enough for both of us. I much prefer them head on to those going the wrong way and don't see me. Also much prefer them to the fools who double park in the bike lane (even if they say they're in the car "waiting" with the engine idling so they're not parking and can move if someone needs to get their car out - those fools need be smacked repeatedly). Also worse are the groups that take up the entire MUP. This weekend, I was pulling a trailer with a screaming baby inside and just wanted to get the last half mile home so I could get her out and see what she wanted when this group of old ladies decided to block up the whole MUP. Repeated bell ringings and "excuse me"s were ignored before a couple of them finally moved over while giving me dirty looks - and this was on the part of the path labeled "Bikes Only". A few yards away was the "Pedestrian Only" path, but apparently they didn't want to use that one. Jerks - there are some wherever you go.
