There is really no winning with warnings. Later we were going past Edworthy, and a train was going by, so it was obviously super loud. My wife rang her bell several times, got no response, so said "passing on your right" We were going about 15km/h. The women turns and says "use your bell!" As if using her voice was some affront to humanity.
I try to ring from a distance then a middle range, then when I am close if I haven't noticed any indication that the person heard me. And that is if they are off to the side. If they have dogs, or are walking near the line I'm giving a vocal warning when I get close. Unless they look totally oblivious to the world around them, then they get the thunder horn. Not my fault if I startle you at that point.
