Do you use a bike bell?

[Grog]

I have a bike bell on my pink city bike. It's a metal one so it really has a very traditional bike bell sound. I use it mostly for fun, because it makes me happy to hear it.

See its sister bells here:

(Mine is the one with the cat but I also love the pink candy, goes well with a cycling top from Shebeest 2 years ago)

Those are just darling!!! The "chien" (woof-woof) would look cute on my mountain bike, color wise, but I've already ordered the more "serious" compass bell. Actually "chien" would look fab on my Bike Friday too (it has blue bar tape in the same shade). Will it fit on road bars, do you know? And are these available in the US, by any chance? The site appears to be French-Canadian.

Thanks much!

Dunno about a retailer in the US - you could send an email and ask, write in English, they will understand - but even in Montreal I couldn't find one this summer! They completely sold out, crazily popular.

I am fairly certain they would fit on road bars. Not sure about oversize bars (which is my case), but I could check (I have an extra bell of the same type).

It makes a fabulous dring dring sound, you can actually listen to it on their main page (http://www.dringdring.ca) by clicking the play button on the right side of the page!!

Let me know if they DO ship, because I will order a few!!

I would order also!! These are adorable and fun!

DF has a whale bell on his road bike. Yep - his road bike. He's only using it for the MS150, then it will get trasferred to his mountain bike. He DOES pass a lot of bikes on his way up and down the hills

I'm with you - I don't know why but the traditional ting-a-ling of an old fashioned bike bell always makes me smile. It's the law in the uk that new bikes have to be supplied with a bell but the one that came with mine has a cheap and nasty 'ting' so I'm going to replace it with a 'real' bell.
