@HollieK72 @dec23k I don't think most people who use a bell (or most people who complain when we don't use a bell!) are expecting pedestrians to "jump out of the way" as they sail past too close without slowing down. I won't deny that cyclists like that exist, but most bikes slow down and only use the bell to make sure people are aware and not surprised by their approach. (I prefer a cheery "good morning" myself, or where I do need someone to move an "excuse me, sorry!").

@HollieK72 @dec23k I'm thinking here mostly of the DNA path in Cambridge, which is a shared route for bikes and pedestrians, completely away from the roads, but which was built too small for how popular it has become.
