I am also not averse to stepping off and out of the way for a second to let everyone and anyone by me, should things get congested.

Maybe the person walking on a path with faster moving vehicles, who can not hear (for whatever reason), poses a similar danger?????
If I had a hearing impairment that did not allow me to hear a warning from a bicycle out of my vision range, I would not put myself in that dangerous situation. Would you?? Only common sense....

If I had a hearing impairment I would walk facing traffic so could see it coming.
