    I have to admit, when the squeeze part was gone but the whistle part was still attached to my handlebars, it was kinda fun leaning over and blowing into it to blow the horn. Except the one time I split my lip doing that.

    I just saw that amazon has some co-union squeeze horns including a Tyrannosaurus and T-rex head…..and a baby dinosaur

    Yay! Where did you find it?

    I've been successful before when I've called the US distributor for an Asian company, confirmed that they stocked the part number even though it wasn't in their catalog, and arranged to order it through one of their retailers.

    The DH (aka the Bike Hermit) had the cutest hermit frog bell/horn on his touring bike - was a gift. He was on a tour, stopped at a farm house to get water and upon leaving noticed half the frog was missing. One of the farm dogs had bitten it off!

    online... funny how it didn't come up when I did the first search for "hedgehog bike horn". I searched again to find the img url for the one I bought that's similar and *boom* there it was.

    do you know how I would go about finding a US distributor? I did write to the company but I guess it's Sunday so I haven't heard back. I doubt I can buy just one, but who knows, maybe they'll take pity on me and send me one

    Sky King: that's horrible!! though I must admit I had to laugh, but that's still horrible. Were you guys able to replace it?

    Manufacturers' websites usually list their distributors' contact information. If it wasn't there, I don't know what to tell you besides try googling ...

    Not yet, I haven't looked uber hard but will now in case I stumble upon a dealer. His is a sunlite horn, a product of J&B Importers but I don't see yours on there.
    I will also look in my Interbike directory, there were a ton of bell suppliers there.
