All my bikes have bells as well, the teeny kind. Sometimes when I'm
buzzed on the local wetlands trail without warning by some racer boy,
if I'm hostile I'll yell, "get a bell, lunatic", but more often I'm the
one doing the passing.
Only thing is that Americans aren't used to
the sound of a bike bell and will often ignore it. Immigrants from
other lands, usually yield to the side without even looking back--as
duh, it's a bike bell. It's getting better tho, as the same folks are
down at my local every day, and they're learning what a polite ding
ding means.
