Can you hear it from 25m away?
Is there a bell that's not massive, ugly and still passes Dutchie law to the left hand side?

Probably just about, but certainly on the bike it sounds pretty weak. The spring for the hammer (Which is just plastic) doesn't seem to be strong enough to get enough of a hit on the bell to make it worthwhile. Even when I flick it as far back as it will go, it still isn't loud enough. The Rockbros that @platypus mentioned looks good, is only £10 on Amazon and with being a metal hammer and bell, should certainly be loud enough.
I actually took the Knog bell off my bike because I was better off shouting than hoping people on canal paths would hear me.

They are ugly, hence why I got the Knog. You'd be better off tapping a ring off your bars though, it would be just as loud.
