Would it not be a good idea for a person coming up behind a walker to ring their bell? And if they don't have one on their bike, get one?

Just curious if other walkers have had this experience.
This bike rider was a jerk and gives all of us a bad name. Based upon my experience, the worst ones seem to be those who ride road bikes wearing all of their bicycle gear. They seem to have some kind of entitlement thing going on. Of course, I don't mean all of them.
