Buy a bell. That's the international signal. Buy one that is penetrating and has a long ring. That way, people can hear it and with the long ring, they can tell where the sound is coming from. Shouting into the wind to people forward of you means they will only hear you when you're almost next to them. Especially if they are moving too (wind in ears). Get a bell. You're not in the TdF.
