I use a bell when on a big bike ride with lots of people...riders seem to get what it means. However, I find on the busy multi-trail that most people either can't hear them or don't have a clue what they mean. A lot of riders and especially walkers look around aimlessly (...is it the ice cream man?)... or worse turn around to look and veer into the passing area. I now either pass stealthily (word?) or use "on your left". Rob Markwardt Seattle, WA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
