Given that many bicyclists have reported the same issue over and over (joggers unaware of the presence of bicyclists or not reponding as desired to the bicyclists shouted warning (often given in biker lingo)), I would think most smart bicyclists should not be surprised by
wrong way responses from pedestrians. In addition, IMO, smart cyclists would cease expecting anyone else to respond
correctly to the bicycling specific command of "on your left", in fact, they wouldn't waste their breath with what amounts to non communicative noise to non afficianadoes on an MUP or on the street
Sort of like being surprised by a child running into the street after a rolling ball crosses the bicyclists path. Shouldn't catch a wary cyclist by surprise.
