This is about your safety. Maybe you'll never need it. But maybe you will.

No one else is sitting on your bike with you. Don't let your own common sense be overruled by someone else's opinion.

As Northstar, I expect you to be above and beyond common opinion.
go for it. Last time I looked, there were no laws against it.

ps I know a lot of hardcore road bike riders that have bells!
I'm so oppositional/defiant that if someone sneered at my bike for having a bell I'd go find the biggest squeaky plastic dinosaur horn I could find and add it on next to the bell.
