I have a bell on each of my bikes and use them appropriatly..
However, the reaction is split:
For example on a shared path that I use on the way to work:
1: Don't use bell as there really is no need, ped is walking towards me and has obviously seen me in fluoro nodder with flashing light: ""Use your fucking bell!"
Hmmmm.
I use the bell as a warning whenever I feel it is needed, and will continue to do so.
But unless I ride along sounding like a demented campanologist Banzai peds will always present a totally unpredictable brake test opportunity.
