I wait for wide enough area to pass safely. Sometimes I have to wait a while, from a good distance back. I try to size the situation up beforehand and decide whether I should announce the pass or not. Some people get startled if you say anything. It also depends how much room I have, I want enough leeway that an inexperienced cyclist can veer sideways while I pass and we'll both be ok. Mainly, I avoid the MUPs, and just accept riding real slow when I'm on one.

Otherwise, I agree 100 %.
