Trail: Slow down, Ring a bell, Passing, On your left
Sidewalk: Slow down, Excuse me

Yes, the bell gives off the impression of arrogance, but as a functional device it works well. The cycling community can easily remedy this stereotype with a smile and "thanks" when making the pass.

Generally though, we cyclists need to be prepared to come to a full stop if necessary, while on a multi-use trail.

Gravelly Point is a particularly bad patch, as delinquent parents let their young children and dogs wander and dart on the Mt Vernon Trail. I think signage there is necessary educate park goers that people do use that section of the trail as a thoroughfare. Those guests get in the way of both runners and cyclists.
