Question

why do the cyclist ring the bell and shout?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

If they're on a shared use path, they need to remember that some people are deaf or hard of hearing and I think sometimes, you can forget that if you're used to people responding to a bell.

But I do think cyclists can't win with this one - some will prefer they don't ring, others that they do. I think as long as they are taking care they shouldn't be criticized either way.
