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

I regularly commute to work by walking down Massachusetts Avenue on Embassy Row on the SIDEWALK, and I regularly get startled by cyclists that speed past me at 15 miles per hour within 6 inches of my body with NO warning - no bell, no call and do not slow down. Even the ones who do ring a bell do not slow down. This is really unacceptable and dangerous. But what can be done? Cyclists are guests on the sidewalk and should act like it. On multi-use trails, they should yield to pedestrians -- the cyclists are the ones who can do the damage, as evidenced by this sad story.
