Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

There are no rules, everything is a situation.

Whether I let them know or not depends on the situation. In the road with plenty of room to pass someone who was holding his line well enough as I approached, I don't see a need to bother, or bother him. On an MUP, or when then I might, again depending on the situation.

Keep in mind that passing someone on a bike isn't something that comes up suddenly. You have time as you approach to read the cyclist and conditions and decide how and when you'll pass.

Any NO, I'm not bothered by an unannounced pass except if it's done at a particularly inopportune time.
