No, you should not. Bike paths that I have seen, like regular roads have two lanes. If and when the lane for opposing traffic is clear, then you should proceed in passing. That's pretty much SOP when operating any vehicle.
When using a bike lane on the street, you proceed in the next vehicle lane to your left when it is clear of traffic. Again basic good vehicle operation.
The idea of multiple bike lanes on bike paths has not been implemented yet.
