@uxmark asks:
Q7. When you’re cycling, how and when do you alert others to your presence?
Others can be people walking, other people cycling, or people driving motor vehicles. A bell? Your voice? A bulb horn? An air horn? Something else?

I have a bell on two of my bikes. But the majority of the time I use my voice. I frequently ride multiuse trails with plenty of pedestrians and many walking dogs. If they have a dog, I give a warning as soon as they are in hearing range, the sooner the better, and that makes it more likely the dog will be under control by the time I pass.
@MartyCormack @ascentale @bikenite Same, regarding dogs. Then as I pass I’ll often thank them, and say something like “I didn’t want to startle your dog” 😀🐕❤️
@uxmark @MartyCormack @ascentale @bikenite same. There are a lot of lockdown dogs (and others) on my cycle route. I absolutely thank the people who can control their dogs.
