Why a bell? Nothing says "bicycle coming through" more than a bell. Don't be a shouty person on a bike, be a cyclist with a bell. Design The bell has a thumb-activated lever that is geared to rapidly rotate two loosely slung metal discs inside the bell housing. This creates a sound that is easily heard and automatically interpreted. Bell Etiquette - How many times should I ring my bell? Once - risk not being heard Twice - safe bet when approaching from behind Three times - as good as a second warning Four times - from far away, best in a loud city during rush hour Continuous - Great when going down the inside of traffic where you know pedestrians are crossing the road in between stationary motor traffic and straight into your path
