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.
Were you on a walking trail or multi modal path? I'm not aware of walking trails that allow bikes and if it was a multi modal path, you should be walking facing traffic.
