    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.

    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..

    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?
