Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It makes all the whole difference in the world.
A bike itself is incomplete without it and so cold.
It's like a dog with a nice wooden home.
It's like a dog with a bone.

It only weighs about 81.9 g's
When you make that sound, Bike weighs like there is none.
At a price of $4.99 @ amazon.com
An investment that makes everything just right.

It's a chrome classic Bell bell that was a missing link.
Now my bike is complete and I don't have to think.
If you attach it to a Carbon Fiber bike.
It could amplify the sound a bit.

I bought a bell for my commuter Tuesday. It's mounted on a spacer so I can replace the existing spacer with it.

With a titanium frame, you just pluck a cable and it rings lick a bell.

BTW, does any of you know if there is such a door bell that sounds exactly like that kind of bike bell? Maybe I should just drill a hole in the door, install the bell inside, attach a cord to the bell, and make a label on the outside of the door by the cord and a hole saying,

DOOR BELL-- PULL THE CORD.
