I think that what stopped me from recommending stopping was the fact that she was riding at about 20mph.
Unless one is a very experienced cyclist, an emergency stop at that speed can have more dire consequences than the other suggestions...
Slowing down when riding on residential streets might be an option though... if one is riding that fast,one more reason to take the lane.

big arm signals are useful to alert the motorist too.
I ring bells, yell, and flap my arms around.

I have this fantastic mental image now of your avatar coming down a road at high speed squawking and flapping her arms...
