I would own the middle of the lane on a divided path. But if there's someone coming up behind me I would either speed up (since I am rarely in a rush and ride at a very leisurely pace), OR I would pull over onto the grass and let them pass (since I hate feeling rushed).
Depends on my mood, for the most part. But I do make efforts to get the person behind me, to become the person ahead of me.
