I love my bell, but I don't always use it, I like to say hello if I am on a shared path and need to pass someone
The reason I say bust the myth is that I was having a "discussion" a while back with a policeman who I had seen riding while carrying an a4 envelope in his right hand, (thus preventing his use of the front brake) riding on the pavement with the flow of traffic on a 3 lane one way road and who then went through a no entry sign. I guessed he was going to the police station so got ahead of him and had a chat about his riding. He was so pissed at me stopping him in his fury he told me I should have a bell.
I rang it for him.
Still laughing about it now. And got a nice letter from the Chief Inspector when I wrote in and complained.
Sorry for the thread derail.
