Perhaps a bicycle bell would help?

That's a "prank" video, but I'm quite serious - it does demonstrate that people will instinctively move out of the way when they hear a bike bell. And towards the end of the video (1:38-1:47), he even uses it successfully on an escalator, and in the aisles of a grocery store - so the effect isn't limited to places where you'd expect to encounter bikes.
- gohrt 10y agoNot "instinctive", but "sensible". Saying "excuse me" or "passing through" would work just as well.
