Well said. I don't use a bell but I have developed a deep, unalarming: "on your left" that travels well ahead of me. I also try to slow to just about pedestrian speed and create maximum distance when passing. A lot of my fellow cyclists (all of them kitted to the nines) thread the needle at 20mph. It's bullshit.
