When walking or riding I often call out "thanks for the warning.. or Get a BELL.." generally without the profanity..
Right up near the TOP of the Rules for trail use on the Silver Comet it says ANNOUNCE YOURSELF..
If you are one of the riders that frequently Having peds and other bikers swerve randomly... Perhaps YOU are scaring the CRAP out of them?
If you are in the "I don't announce BC people do random things crowd" perhaps you should give a 50' warning to peds 20' to bikes.. see if it doesn't improve things.. dont ***** about cars buzzing you if you are buzzing peds and other bikes...
