The bell tolls #2
All those who cycle in NSW will be aware of the law requiring a bell installed on your bike or face a $106 fine. The law has been around for a long time, however, with the recent increase in penalties for cycling infringements purported to be for cyclist safety Police focus upon this and the issuing of penalties has increased significantly.
The bell tolls.
Here it comes - looks like I better get a bell for my mountain bike for when I am riding to a track. Taking this to the extreme, this could mean you will need a bell when riding on fire trails. I can see it now - 'bell inspection' officers at the bottom of The Oaks.
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!
