The Summary Of The Debate Over A Bicycle Bell As A Motorcycle Sound Device
A bicycle bell is a percussion signaling tool mounted on a bicycle for personal safety and direction to other bikers. The bell is required by some jurisdictions. They are generally mounted on the stem and usually thumb activated. These bells may be made from plastic, metal or wood and are designed to give a hard hit or shock to the rider when bumped.
The sound of a bicycle bell can be irritating to the ear and can also cause some discomfort when you have to avoid an upcoming accident or confrontation with another motorist. This is where the loud horn comes in. Bicycle bells are typically located on the front fender, but they may also be mounted underneath the seat or on the crank arm. The size of your bike bell will depend on the size and design of your bike. Most modern designs emit a high-pitched whistle that is attached to a metal chain which in turn links to a bell-shaped bell on the front fender.
So, what is the verdict? The verdict is in! I would vote for a bell over a handlebar mounted horn any day. There are far too many stories of people being run over by large trucks with the blow of the horn alone causing the crash. Also if you’re riding alone (or with a passenger) and have another motorist be the source of the accident it’s all worth it.
