Re "On your left!"

One of my favorite plants is called a Red Hot Poker. My GF and I would
call them out while riding, yelling "Red Hot Pokers." It was fun, so I
tried it on the Marine Drive bike path, yelling "Red Hot Pokers" when I
came up on walkers or bikes that looked like yellow jacket level or below.

They hear me say something, but have no idea what it is. They usually move
one way or the other, and I pass on that side.

So, try yelling "Red Hot Pokers" because that sh*t really works.

FACT: A certain percentage of the population will look left and in doing so will steer the bike to the left.

What���s the best way to deal with this? I don���t have a one-size-fits-all answer.

I never say ���on your left��� because once in a while a person misunderstands and moves... left.

I do say ���hello��� if I need someone to know I���m there. Or ���heads up!��� if there���s a problem.
