Likewise, it means that, when safe, slower "traffic" should allow faster traffic to pass. It does NOT mean that trikes can block everyone else because they "have the right" to be there.

Pretty much this. I went to the Strawberry Festival. I ended up parking on the grass to the side of the MMP because the line just to GET to the parking lot was ridiculous. So I pulled off to the embankment and walked from there. Along with over 30 other golf carts who all had the same idea.
I passed a couple of bike riders who kept to the right as safely as they could. I was also tail-gated by someone with a tweaked golf cart that wanted to go faster than my 20.3mph cart (and the regulations) allowed. I was going as fast as I could, and I was *technically* going faster than the regulations allowed. So no - I wasn't going to pull over and let that golf cart pass me. With my luck, he'd pass me, then swerve to avoid a cyclist and cause an accident and I'd be stuck behind his stopped overturned golf cart for an hour. Folks like that can just wait. I won't be obnoxious and slow down (speed police), but I won't bend over backward to accommodate him either.
