Some of you will remember how bikes used to come with a little mechanical bell on the handlebar? I think we need to bring those back.
For much of my commute I need to ride on the sidewalk as the roads are too narrow and frankly dangerous. There are not many pedestrians and many have earphones in. I try to let them know I am coming but often end up startling them because they only hear me at the last minute.
That old bell would be easily recongiseable if everyone used it, easy to hear even over music, and a nice neutral sound. Where do you think i could get one?
