  • Trail: Slow down, Ring a bell
  • Sidewalk: Slow down, "Excuse me," preferably while going very slow or dismounted

I only say "on your left" to other cyclists, because they're the only ones I can assume will understand. I agree wholeheartedly with all of the comments regarding pedestrians' natural tendency to turn left when they hear "left."

And a gentle suggestion to some of my fellow cyclists - a multi-use trail is not the best place to go "all out" when you're training for your next race. If you're that dedicated, you're dedicated enough to find a lightly used rural highway. On a multi-use trail, slowing down - sometimes frequently - just comes with the territory.
