I used to hike every weekend before I started biking. One time this guy coming down the hill and I could hear him for a while. He had like cat jingle bells on his bike. I was thinking of doing that with my road bike.





I find that a loud “Get out of my way!! Don’t you know who I am?!!!” clears my path pretty effectively, and watching the damn’ pedestrians struggle to stay upright as they leap sideways adds spice to my MUP adventure.
Unless I’m feeling well-disposed toward my fellow humans, then “I’m going to pass on your left, Folks” in a clear speaking voice from a reasonable distance back will do the trick
