Buddhist saints would be hard pressed, but I try to hold back the Naughty Finger because I want other people to see how calm riding makes me. Remember Fry's 101 coffee moment in Futurama? Just like that. A driver going ape has the benefit of some anonymity inside their tinted box, but as a rider you are very obviously a person losing your sh*t.

I do notice that city drivers seem to be much more aware and respectful of bicyclists...

The first time I sounded a full ring, the walkers almost leapt to the sides out of my way! I apologised and explained I was British and still learning to ride in Germany. They were nice and explained what to do - One 'ding' as an announcement, a full ring to be more urgent ('I am coming fast and can't stop' type of thing). Sustained ringing meant 'danger - take alarm' - Maybe the sort of thing you do when a vehicle is out of control etc? I assume that the custom is still the same?
