Why shouting is better than a bell
So... I'm riding off the bridge and down to Hickson Rd this morning when some muppet doesn't see me at corner of Kent & Argyle.
A quick yell to attract his attention sees a stalled car and coffee in his lap. Nice 
Show me a bell that works that well... and without moving your hands either!

You willed that latte into his lap!
DARTH Vader, and I can kill you with a thought!

Thanks for a good chuckle, Rob.
The Power of the Bike Bell

Although, that is Japan, where the bike has been the primary mode of transport a lot longer than the car.
I can image trying to do that in Sydney. Would probably get nailed by both pedestrians and cars pretty damn quickly.
Maybe if I had that particular bell... 
Or maybe if I just write the Japanese Kenji that are on that bell onto an Oz bell - would it have the same power, that same awesome people/traffic clearing power?
