I bought an incredibell (the 2 tone for about $10) and it is such a faint sound that it's worthless to me.

I need something to use when there are 3 old ladies spread across the path gabbing away. No air horns or obnoxious honkers--I want to be pleasant.

I remember when I was a kid everybody had chrome bells that were 2 or 3 inches across. You pushed on the thumb lever and it went ching ching ching. When you released the lever it returned to it's original position, with another ching-ching-ching along the way.

It was loud and everybody knew it meant bike.

What's the best I can do nowadays? Thanks.
