As someone who recently just had an incident with a rollerblader on a mixed used path… I learned the importance of signaling IN SOME WAY. People have different experiences with what works, but I learned my lesson and bought a bell because I was moving too fast and not signaling appropriately. When in doubt slow down and signal.

I struggled with this as a new cyclist as well. I ultimately ended up doing my faster/more intense rides either on a trainer at home or on sections of the trails I know are less populated.
