  • Trail: Ring a bell
  • Sidewalk: Slow down

I run on CCT and Rock Creek trail several times a week. Runners like myself and walkers seem to react better (my personal observation) when a cyclist uses a bell. Vocal warnings are useful too, but "on your left" could come from a runner passing, so walkers may think they have more time to move over, or it could cause confusion to elderly walkers. A bell is always associated with a cyclist.

Cyclists shouldn't speed on a trails either, though I rarely see them doing so, which speaks well to cyclists in the area.
