OOPS! I think my reply was bit confusing, so let me clarify. I DO think that we should announce to a cyclist that we are about to pass.

My earlier comment was definitely confusing... must be early morning without some caffeine. What I truly meant was that I don't think we need to vocalize to the entire world that we just passed someone.. what does that prove? I know that it's exciting, but as plenty of others have mentioned... we truly dont' know what their goal was for the day.

Although I think the internet has given us lots of options/information; I do think that the ability to let others know each time that we blow our nose or pass someone on a bike is a bit extreme. But again, that's MHO..
