I've often wondered if it's actually by the book legal to pass a cyclist whilst he or she is riding on the shoulder. If I can't pull over into a different lane to pass, I'll rarely do it. Drives my wife nuts that I'm reluctant to go around.
That being said, if it's not legal to pass and a cyclist is holding up traffic then I would hope the cyclist pulls over or picks a different route. If a car were to be doing 20 km/hr in a 50 km/hr zone and disrupting the flow of traffic then that would be a ticketable offence.
