    hmm

    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...

    I got it

    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...

    hey

    Actually Lph..Ian suggested i put it on my helmet for the most embarassing reason. The next time I fall on my head, i'll do even more damage than last oct... and then get to purchase an even nicer helmet *snort*..

    Geez nice helmets are expensive!!!

    *ahem* tee hee..ian slaps my behind when we cycle together some days.. The bell would cause an accident..

    Back to regular programming.

    show us a picture of your cockpit and we'll see what we come up with. I have my bell on my bars, but my computer is on my stem.

    You could put one of those Minoura Space Grip gizmos on your handlebars. Maybe with a little re-arranging of the stuff on the handlebars, you can get the bell somewhere where it works for you.
    On my commuter, I mounted a bell, upside down, to the bitter end of my bar ends. It works great for me.

    I've been considering a bell to my road bike for all the above reasons, and--it's the only thing the geese at our park respond to! I guess they've gotten used to humans, but moved for my bell. When I hopped on my trusty hybrid the other day, I realized it was mounted to the shifter/brake brace somehow. I'll take a pic when I get home.

    How big is your top tube? Could you mount it near the handlebars there? I put a compass there for a while, because I ran out of room on the handlebars. Worked pretty well.
