Bells don't work on pedestrians in Belfast. I've left my front canti break intentionally squeaky, give it a short hard tug and you get a brake squeak.
That DOES work.
PS also have bell, but nobody seems to hear it. Also iPods, chatting to other people.
If bell, then squeak fails, OI! is escalation. Then FUCKS SAKE!
For road traffic, you may need an airzound, a 120 decibel airhorn. Cos somebody in a car radio blaring is not going hear your wee bell ping.
