Sweet! Bells are surprisingly wondrous additions to my two bikes. Now it’s spring and folks are out, I have to retrain the trail populace that my bell is my bell and not a cell phone or the passing ambulance, or what’s a trolly doing out here? — comments I’ve gotten in recent days after they ignored my bell the first ring or two. Despite the hilarity, the interactions were all possitive and involved laughter, despite their surprise at the bell belonging to a bike — something voice has never achieved.
You're meeting people who are surprised to hear a bell on a bicycle??? That's really weird. I encounter tourists from the world over down around the Tidal Basin and they all know what a bicycle bell is, even though most of them do not speak English.
