Trail: Ring a bell
Sidewalk: Slow down, Say nothing

I much prefer using my bell when riding, it seems so much less obnoxious than shouting. If I'm not sure the pedestrians notice, then I'll shout. Recently, "On your left" failed miserably, and I wound up falling in order to avoid the pedestrians -- who turned out to be from South Africa, and couldn't figure out which side to move to, because they drive on the other side. So I'm thinking of switching to "Passing!" if the bell doesn't work.

And on sidewalks, I'm the guest, I just wait. Occasionally, a gentle "excuse me", but that's it.
