Who knew?

You've got to "read the room" when passing on a MUP which it appears the OP did. We pass a lot of cyclists on our tandem as well as families with baby carriages, dog walkers, families with small kids on bicycles, sketchy adult riders. runners. Our passing speed is appropriate to the passee, but we would definitely pass on a MUP bridge, although the only MUP we ride on has bridges too narrow to pass side-by-side cyclists.
What I really dislike is cyclists riding side-by-side coming toward us, the one cyclists right on the yellow line. These are generally folks conversing and not paying a whole lot of attention. I'm not concerned about hitting them, but I'm sure concerned about the near cyclists loosing concentration and plowing into us.
