Which way did they look? To the right of course. So as I went by I said, "Your other left."
Now, to be fair, they might have been part of the new Schwarzennegger administration. Anybody know how to say "on your left" in German?
Hmmm, I don't know the proper short term in German biking lingo, but you could say: Achtung (or Vorsicht), ich ueberhole links... [Attention (or Careful), I'm passing on your left]

Good luck.
