  • No; under the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, all a bike needs when crossing borders is:
    -An efficient brake
    -A bell – and no other audible warning device
    -A red rear reflector
    -A red rear lamp
    -A white or selective yellow front lamp

    See http://www.cyclinguk.org/cyclists-library/regulations/international-traffic for more info.

    If I've read that correctly you don't have to have the bell or lights when in France, as they don't require either in their regs - you just need the lesser of the Vienna or local requirements.

  • Sorry, edited while you replied - if my reading's correct you may not formally need the bell, but probably worth sticking one on in case.
