I would come up behind and shout 'on your right" and start the manoeuvre.

He's sounds an ignorant, selfish tit.

This - said in a calm polite voice. Failing that, take a small piece of bamboo cane to poke through the spokes next time. That'll learn him

I'd announced my presence, if they fail to move over, reverse(?) half wheel them so they see you at their side. If that fails and there's room to do so, I'd say I'm coming through on your left/right and make the move.

I sometimes use my local tow path as a shortcut to meet a mate for MTB rides. I normally call out "passing on your right" and they move over.
