the faster guys will get by on their own… if they won’t or can’t, then too bad. If it’s just you on the single lane road and there’s a faster guy wanting to get by:
1. do something to acknowledge you know he/she is behind you. a wave or a nod.
2. hit the right turn signal.
3. drift to the right of the lane.
if it’s me and i come across a gaggle of slow riders, if they’re in a good staggered formation, i’ll split them right down the middle.

just pass them like they were like a bunch of cars. One by one to be safest, or as many as you think you can per go. If it’s a group of hell’s angels or outlaw bikers, i suggest you pull over and enjoy the scenery for a bit if you don’t feel like following them.
