I go with a chirpy "Mind Your Backs" followed by an oddly Arthur Askey-esque "Eh Thengew" if room is made for me. When a quick warning is needed, I tend to just shout "BIKE!" and hope for the best[1]...
I did have a ping bell for a few weeks while, but people tended to ignore it (or at least, people below a certain age ignored it) and I ended up shouting anyway.
[1] This being that the student in question looks up from their texting and waits for me to pass before continuing to cross the road oblivious to traffic...
"BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!!!" is a good one for freezing peds, also sometims shout stuff like "RAAAIN" , "CAAARRROT" etc is good too. The puzzled look on peoples faces when they try to work out what you shouted is brilliant.
