"to your left" enough audible signal when passing?

Hear, hear. I ride a lot on off peak hours too and I’ll gas it when I can and if I feel like it but a mans got to know his limitations.

It took a rookie/dangerous pass by ME in the beginning to learn that. No harm in slowing down. Sadly, to a lot of folks the MVT is their personal training track.

no offense to those who are bipolar or have bipolar friends, btw. All in all it seems to me that, there are plenty of entitled people around riding the trails w/o any type of control over their own emotions and definitely with reactions that are simply exaggerated.

A bell followed by a calmly-voiced alert is a lot friendlier than just barking at people, which too many cyclists seem to do. We get upset by how motorists treat us, then do the same to people walking on trails!

Call your passes early. It works remarkably well and is said to also remove stains from your shirts.
