I heard someone (@Clockwise maybe) say that they like the big "ding-dong" style bells because they sound friendly and are very clearly make a noise that could only come from a bike.

Prefer ones that do the other ring like this style one.

Only use for bells is far off pedestrians if you are coming up behind them on a tow path or in a park and want to warn them long before, everything apart from that is slowing down or better positioning.

I have a Spurcycle bell, it's a lifestyle purchase.
Most bells sound too aggressive really, a more traditional 'bring bring' is much more friendly than a high pitched ping.
