@ascentale @bikenite When you’re cycling, how and when do you alert others to your presence? Others can be people walking, other people cycling, or people driving motor vehicles. A bell? Your voice? A bulb horn? An air horn? Something else?

A bell.... And or a "On Your Left" delivered in enough time for people to realize that 1) yes I mean your left 2)No do not move to your left.

My voice is louder and clearer than my bell, thanks to decades of theatre performance

@ClintonAnderson @uxmark @ascentale @bikenite i have a bell for compliance with the law but much prefer an “on your left”

@auxonic @ClintonAnderson @uxmark @ascentale @bikenite Just a cheery "hello!" from me. People have near-zero understanding of what "on your left" means in my experience :-)

@wav3ydave @auxonic @ClintonAnderson @uxmark @ascentale @bikenite 'sfunny, I was practice-bellowing "HOLD YOUR LINE", with Theatrical breathing, to myself on Monday evening's commute 😃 although I find the evergreen "TRACK!" quite handy, it's succinct and I can be charmingly retro while praying the pedestrian who's just stepped out without looking hears me. That and as Dave says, just a "hello" which is way more polite. </ramble>
