A dulcet "YOU SLAAAAAAAAAAAAGGG!!!" works fine.

These are particularly good examples of indian rickshaw bells, from bangladesh to be precise, I dont think they have rickshaws in india anymore?

These look class, are loud and can be rung continuously in a freight train like manner.

The first time I took it out for a test I got pulled over by the police and worked hard not to recieve a ticket!

Does £5.50 + £3 postage sound fair? the largest dome bell I could find on ebay was £12 and still only half the size of this one. Open to swaps.

^Chrome teacakes, yum!

I'm into whistling, as jonny will testify. Problem is people think I'm a blackbird.

Skully, I thought you were a Tit.


:D

hooo ho ho ho

or if your on track mode "STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY"

Can anyone teach me how to whistle like them bellboys whistle for taxi's or like builders whistle at birds I'd like to get a really loud piercing whistles down

racist

Is this Mike Oldfield trying to rejuvenate album sales?

darwinism at its best, no?

little anecdote - BEWARE THE OPEN DOME BELL
when I was a wee whipper snapper, trying to impress the older boys in the street I jumped off a gutter and nearly went into an oncoming car. my quick reflexes made me turn the handlebars 90 degrees and I proceeded to fly A-over-T. then as I got back to my feet I noticed the bike righted itself automatically... before looking at my leg to realise the bell bolt (exposed as the dome wasn't on top of the bell) had gone straight into thigh. pulling the rusty bolt out of my thigh flourescent yellow fat came oozing out. 20+yrs later I still have a scar.

just thought I'd share that with you

nice story, youd be safe with my ones though, the main bolt goes downwards as you can see, and the bell will still ring when done up very tight unlike smaller ones.

a sensible bolt and the fact you'll never get the front wheel off the ground with that lump on your handle bars.

@Dogs - That reminds me of the old guy who rides along Kentish town and tufnell park. balding with a thining sweep over flying away in the head wind. he rides this old steel frame sturmy hub job. plastic bags strapped to everything, decked in his sunday best
He hits that bell and cusses everything on the road. also stops at lights and shouts at everyone who jumps them. a loon but over the years we have become close...

... one day you'll catch up with him.

Slight change of direction but how do you feel about cars using their horns to warn you they are approaching/overtaking from behind? (please ignore the potential for cheap puns!)

It happens in Nigeria and I think India and I like the theory behind it. It does however make for really effervescent and noisy roads, also due the the mentality over here I;m sure it would be taken by many as aggressive. A car did it to me recently and I felt quite grateful for the consideration shown by the driver.

They do the same in Egypt. They're mental on the roads there. I'd not like to cycle near Cairo.

This thread is minging btw. Ming ming ming ming.

My lady and I had a row about this last night... She was on the BMX and I was shadowing her cuz her road sense isn't too hot... An idiot starts beeping us to get out of the way when there's only one lane of traffic moving... I ignore it 'til it becomes annoying then the forks come out... Finishes with me dropping my bike in front of the guy's car and offering the guy out... Much talk of bullets in my head, I'm lucky to be alive, 'Do you realise you live in Brixton? kinda bullshit... Drivers are there to be put in their place, we're all equal on the road... Is this relevant? Who cares? I think we need sawn-offs... 'Say hello to my little friend'... Sorted... Bells? Only if they fire rockets!

You pissed Joe?

stealth works if they cant see you they cant get in your way
just be sure to see them before they see you!

N.i.c.e.

I fucking hate people 'tooting' me I tend to fucking go off on one not unknown to chase through the traffic shouting and spitting teeth then of course the remorse as I realise I have done it again and that I need to chill the fuck out and just allow other people there space and let things be I am better human being when I am chill

Mate, I'm always pissed...

good man

Me and Murts, separated at birth... ;)

just as bloody well :)

yeah chill ,
be like water,
fill every space,
expect people to piss you,
for every action theres on equal and oposite reaction.

Rep

innit, I am getting better though there was a time when I couldn't help myself

Anger while you rollin' be a noble ting... You gotta fight... Etc...

I'm not talking about the aggressive "get off the fucking road" honking. More in the way of courteous "please don't pull out as I'm overtaking you".

I don't care, they should all be killed in the eyes, neck and heart... They're the enemy...

it is all sent to test you it will make you stronger, faster ,wiser ,fiter and more patient

honest
