    Lots of short quick "yo" get the job done. Also, a slightly falsetto'd "whoa" or "yeah!" will work.The kid's gotta learn that the game never lets up.

    the only issue with that is the fear that will be placed in the heart of pedestrians of all cyclists, which has its pros and cons...there ain't no magic in the breakdown baby

    i have seen a few slick kids rock a nice little bell that works way better then yelling, sometimes there is a language barrier but the bell is universally known to mean "get the hell out of my way"there ain't no magic in the breakdown baby

    I remember Dan Bones once saying that "blowjob!" is a good one to yell, because everyone stops, and looks around, confused.The kid's gotta learn that the game never lets up.

    i had a stuffed rat on my stem. that beeped when you squeezed it. like a truck backing up.

    it didn't make anyone turn around.

    mostly i just yell, "WATCH!". it seems to work pretty well.

    "Bitch please" is OK. It really only works when there are a lot of older ladies around. They only stop because they're looking for someone to scold for yelling that.The kid's gotta learn that the game never lets up.

    I once yelled "Oi!" at a stupid pedestrian.

    It just came out and worked pretty well, though it'd probably be more effective if I were a skin.Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.

    I usually yell "OYYYYYYYY" or "EHHHHHH"..... and sometimes they get a quick "PLEASE DON"T CROSS RIGHT NOW THANK YOU" and they are usually confused and then are like "....you're welcome?"<3Cindy

    Really, I just yell "Watchoutwatchoutwatchoutwatchoutwatchoutwatchout" until the ped finally takes notice. Or "Heyheyheyheyheyheyheyhey." Essentially you have to repeat yourself 1000x to have anybody take note.Word nerd

    YO!, HEY!, or SHITFACE! seem to work ok for me.

    A bell works ok for some pedestrians, but isn't loud enough for drivers. Plus, anytime i need to yell, i need to be grabbing the brake, not a bell.How here comes poppa, he’s the one-eyed jack. (Brünnhilde is the daughter with the armor on her rack.)

    if i recall correctly, during my first riding experience with buckley i asked what he yells at pedestrians when they step into your line -- only to have someone do that within 10 seconds. i blurted out a meek "yo", and endo'ed. then i pooped my pants.

    perhaps had i yelled "i've got shit in my pants" i would have fared better.

    i, also, will be stealing "hot soup" or some derivation:

    People make decisions.

    i say "careful!" but i don't really yell it. i tend to just get in peoples' personal space without touching them if they're crowding. i learned the hard way that you don't say anything unless you're prepared for the awkward penguin dance.Geryon was a monster everything about him was red.

    Which could be

    or the more scolding

    K! O!

    or the more mournful

    or more often
