Should I get a bell?

[tintin40]

I found that my modern rear hubs loud clicking sound when I stop pedalling lets every one know I'm behind them. So no need for a bell. Most of the time I wish modern hubs didn't make that sound click. My American Classic didn't. BITD my Hope hubs also clicked loudly

Not read all the replies but it's a yes from me. Since I got into gravel bikes I've been riding near people a lot more so having a bell just makes shifting them easier.

A multi-tune yellow electric horn, be like a kid. Bells are for grown ups.

Don't get a bell.

Ride with a mate who has a bell, and let him / her deal with this terrible hassle and handlebar real estate loss.

7 pages and not a single Quasimodo bells joke or meme yet. Very disappointed with you lot.

I have feeling you legally need a bell.....but a hunch will never stand up in court.....

A bell is not a legal requirement under con and use or the RTA so we won't be getting a pistol whipping from the local dibble.

It is, however, a requirement that bicycles sold as a BSENxxxx approved machine for use on a road or in public are fitted with one at the point of sale.
