if you're a cyclist you just can't win lol

I always cycle on the pavement. it's less busy than the road most of the time and if there's someone in front of me I ring my bell to alert them just in case

If I'm walking on the pavement and a cyclist rings their bell to make me get out of their way, I'm gonna get mad

I know cars suck. But you're meant to cycle on the road - You're not supposed to cycle on the pavement. I don't care if you do if the road is horrible, fair play, but ringing your bell at me? It's my right of way, so no thanks

Bicycle bells are to make people aware of your presence, not to tell them to get out of the way.

This is not true everywhere.

If you're biking at the appropriate speed for being near pedestrians, you don't need to alert of your presence because you are no danger.

You only need to alert your presence if you're going faster than what is safe to do, which is being a dick and pedestrians are right to be mad at you.
