It's pretty obviously not pointless. This helps with blind turns for example. It also can be heard earlier than a biker's speech (assuming the biker doesn't continually give verbal warnings for 15 seconds as is true for basically all bikers on earth).
- lmm 5y ago> This helps with blind turns for example. How so? You can say something in the same scenario where you'd ring the bell. > It also can be heard earlier than a biker's speech (assuming the biker doesn't continually give verbal warnings for 15 seconds as is true for basically all bikers on earth). I don't quite understand the point you're making here - most bikers don't continually ring a bell for 15 seconds except if a pedestrian is obviously not paying attention, and speech is more effective in that case. Maybe a bell is louder than typical speech, but since it's not acted on reliably by pedestrians, that doesn't help much - you always have to be prepared for the worst case.
