Best bike bells: Safety and style on the bike

"The humble bicycle bell is generally acknowledged to have been invented by John Richard Dedicoat in my home city of Birmingham, UK, back in the late 1800's. On the whole, the bell's design has remained largely the same for the last century or so. The need for cyclists to alert other road users and pedestrians of their presence to ensure the safety of all has long been present, and that's exactly the reason cyclists fit and use bike bells."

"They provide an easy, convenient noise to alert people around us of our presence when passing by on a bike. The friendly sound of a bell may help warn a pedestrian we are approaching or let another rider know we are passing. Long story short, they can help keep us safe when getting around by bike. We have a range of bells in this guide to choose from, from classics through to cleverly designed, discreet units, big and small, but all loud enough to alert."
