People who scream along shared-use paths scattering peds with a pingpingpingpingpingpingping flurry can fuck right off though. It's almost like they think they're some sort of emergency vehicle.
EDIT - Beaten to it by BobbyBriggs. Maybe we should start a club for people who dislike pinger bells and have alliterative user names?

My tuppence for the bell tinging debate - I have a really loud Crane bell that I find useful on my commute. I use a significant stretch of off-road cycle path right next to a footpath, so groups of peds often straddle it preventing a safe pass.
One or two loud pings from a distance works a lot better than creeping up behind them then calling out. Gives them much more time to move out of the way and startles them less.
