  • Trail: Slow down, Need to say more than just a word or two. "I'm on a bike and I'm passing you on your left"
  • Sidewalk: Slow down, Need to say more than just a word or two. "I'm on a bike and I'm passing you on your left"

When cyclists shout "on your left", it takes me a second or two to recognize what is happening, and all of a sudden the bike is upon you. I would bet that this is exactly what happened to the elderly woman who was killed. Most cyclists don't give enough advance warning. Also, keep in mind that if someone doesn't regularly walk where bikes are present, they aren't going to anticipate situations like this.
