Hmmm..where do i put me bell?

[crazycanuck]

Ok..I have two wonderful funky looking bells (thanks Sundial for the heads up them & tater for sending them ) but I have a small issue.

They don't fit on my handlebars as there's no room..Not only that,the bell attachment is too small.

Any logical suggestions kids? I'd put it on the left side of my helmet in one of the air vents but i'd look like a dork. We tried just placing it on the handlebar with a cable tie but it looks really really stupid & it limits where i can place my hands.

I think i'll just have to yell " BIIIIIIKKKEE" a wee bit louder round some of the crappy blind corners on the bike paths..

well that sure would be a new one if I saw someone ringing away at a bell attached to her HEAD

If the bell attachment is too small (very strange! do you have really fat bars or tubes?) you'll have to use a cable tie anyway. How about the stem or the top tube? Leaves you space on the handlebars for your hands.

Can you stretch out the attachment and then use either a longer screw or cable tie to secure it?

If you put it on your helmet, you must plant it squarely on the top and post a picture

Swing grip or something like it? I had to get one to put a bell on my road bike - only for those times when I'm on a trail, my voice just doesn't carry, or in the city for stickin' it to those cars.

I don't have any room at the top of my helmet as that's where my helmet light holder is placed.

I shall keep pondering this idea...I only need a bell on my bike twice a week...

On your forehead. So you can slap your forehead and instead of going "duh!" you go "ding!"

Or even better, on the back of your riding partners helmet, so you get to slap him upside the head every now and then

ok, maybe getting a bit carried away here...

What kind of handlebars are we talking about? Road, Mountain?

Usually, near the stem on your handlebars is the most utilized place for bells. Does the attachment spread out; usually attachments of this sort look real small but they have spread out a bit with some help from a screw driver?
