If you're going to ride MUPs for fitness (unfortunately there aren't good alternatives in some urban areas), do it around sunrise before lazy people get up or during the work day when industrious ones are indoors.

Sharing the paths with other denizens you might do better with an "on your left" in tight spaces (still being prepared to slow or stop). With more room it may be most reasonable to give them a wide berth while passing so they're more likely to continue moving straight ahead.
