I'm finding people don't really react to my bell the way they used to. It's like I have to ride right up to them before they realise "oh, that's what that sound was". Has the concept of a bicycle bell been lost in the general cultural consciousness?
I notice this too. It might be more airpod use, but I also see people without them not react and some people with them do react. I guess people assume since they're on or near a sidewalk they don't need to think about cyclists? No clue.
