That's why I don't like MUPs.
Agree about the MUP's but I do use them occasionally. Bells don't work unless you throw it along the trail or just past their ear. And Yes I have tried them and even used a horn but they just don't get heard.

I always Yell out "Bike Behind" from about 50 ft away and wait for them to move. Then I know roughly where they will not be- but not always. And if they don't hear me then I repeat it. And then if they still don't hear me- I ask them which side they want the tyre marks as I trackstand behind them.
