In this context, how would you characterize cyclists ringing their bells at pedestrians on sidewalks?

My opinion is that peds have the right of way in all instances on the sidewalk. If I ride on the sidewalk (which I do sometimes to save time even though it's more dangerous), I don't ring a bell or shout out "left!". The appropriate thing to do is to either wait for the ped to get out of your way or politely say "excuse me, bicycle coming through". If you don't like that, bike in the street where its safer.
