> Shrug. I was in a happy-go-lucky mood and I was already smiling and ringing the bell. What else could I do? Scowl and lean on my horn instead? Pull over and illegally ride on the sidewalk like he wanted? Argue with him, Facebook-comment-style, about who knows the law better? It didn't occur to me that there are people who may be antagonized by a bike bell.

- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoI'm frequently disappointed by broken bells on those scooters, because I love to use it. It's essential to safety. Those things are silent but deadly: they go up to 17mph, and I am confident that 95% of the people on the road are thankful that they can hear me coming because of that bell. Let me tell you, as a pedestrian, I am eternally thankful to every cyclist who announces his presence behind me with something like "passing on your left", although a bell is much easier to use :-)
