My SOP is actually if the person is holding a steady line (whether a biker or runner or walker) and I know I have plenty of room, I don't do anything. Anything else, or if there are multiple people side by side (a very common new trend here is someone riding a bike next to their jogging significant other), I don't feel comfortable not getting their attention.

Dunno what they are like everywhere, but by me they're not bad for faster paced riding. Once you get past a mile or so from a parking lot or downtown, they are rather empty. One is very common for group rides on Saturday morning, they take it easy to get out of town, but then they have fifteen miles of farm fields.
