I use a bell, but I'm not so sure that it's worth the trouble. There are so many people wearing iPods and the like that I doubt that most of them hear my bell. It's rare that anyone acknowledges the bell by moving, or a head or arm motion. Besides that, in Boston driving there is a deep seated urge to maintain the element of surprise by avoiding signaling of any kind.
