Bells People... Use them!

Bike gadgets are wack.

Err...

You've created a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, and for that reason... I'm out.

New Knog bells don't look half bad.

Male cyclist along Oxford Street on his way home for work yesterday evening had a silver whistle in his mouth, blowing it at pedestrians both in or approaching the road. Sometimes quite close to their faces.

I followed for a bit, felt like I was getting a police escort.

Bloke yesterday on an orange bike with panniers through Whitechapel, using what sounded like a cowbell to warn people off. It was perfect, friendly at first but if needed could be proper loud. Looked like a normal bell. He said he got it from Halfords but I found out no more. Anyone know what it is?

I just shout oi. Seems to served me fine over the years.

a full horror b-movie scream works well

Shouting 'Ding' works. Has anyone tried a bear bell on a keyring?

Try and get a 'nope' out for every pedestrian in the road.

Yeah I shout oi as well. It works when someone's about to step in front of you, but the reason I want a bell is I got shouted at on the towpath yesterday after coming up behind someone. Scared the shit out of her even though I slowed down. I think in that situation I'd prefer to use a bell rather than calling out or shouting ding or whatever. The cowbell sounded friendly so I think it'd be ideal.

This is a thing...http://www.mtbbell.com/demo.html

There's a shitty cycle path in Hammersmith kingsway the opposite way of the one way road. People always stepping into it and it narrow. I tried a bell but to give it a boost I always yell as well.

I shout 'aaaargh no braaaakes'

"Blind cyclist coming through" is my favoured shout.

whats the loudest bell I can fit onto a brompton? The Spur copy isnt loud enough ..

Do you enjoy heavy metal, bass-y hip hop or gabba?

Coz I’ve found a handlebar mounted Bluetooth speaker pumping out these kinds of tunes renders a bell utterly redundant.
