My usual is saying "excuse me" or "at your back" as a bell tends to get
ignored/not heard/not equated with something that may hurt them .
I remember one time (I wasn't at my best) I had done the "at your back
chief" bit and went past this guy he made some comment about "should
have a ******* bell" couldn't help myself I dinged the wee bell(was on
sons bike and we had just bought this bike from EBC so it had a (cheap,
ping) bell fitted) repeatedly as I cycled away .
