You should completely leave your lane to pass. Doesn't matter where the bike is in the lane (and it is stupid for bikes to hug the right side, you have a right to the entire lane).

Legal Answer: If you cannot safety pass, like a pedestrian is coming, THEN DON'T PASS. Common sense, courtesy, and the law.
btw: Florida LAW: Don't come within 3 feet of a pedestrian or cyclist. (some states it is 5 and 6 feet - should be here also)
Which Florida statute requires 3 feet for a pedestrian?
