Sorry this happened to you - it has happened to me too.

Yes, cyclists should ring a bell and announce when passing.

Also, walkers need to pay attention and never step to the other side of a pathway without looking first. This is especially true if the walker is listening to music or taking a call. Head on a swivel.
