Absolutely nothing, since there's plenty of room to pass at the moment. However, if there were steady, unbroken oncoming traffic, I'd move to plan B, either watching the buildup behind me and consider options.
FWIW having spent tears riding in NYC, I've no issue with close passes at moderate speed. So riding the fog line as the cars that slowed to my speed slide by is very acceptable.
Some people call this tactic "catch and release".
