A bit of understanding is what's called for here.
The thing is it can take some old timers a while to get their heads around such modern technology as bells on bikes.
After all they've only been around for a hundred years or so.

That'll be useful for beating the rush hour on the N332, Mitzy.

Well, it aint a bell as I know it, and 5 people looked at it this week including a hardened cyclist on an internet forum, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Frankly it would be absolutely useless as a bell anyway, cos it makes hardly any noise

A silent bell?????? is that for deaf people, then?



How does it work?

Do you just ring the bell and when they dont hear it, you give them a big boot up the jacksy to move them out of the way?

Has someone taught you the key words and put stickers on the vital parts for you? Saddle, pedals, handlebars etc, can picture you getting on the wrong way and finding the handlebars very uncomfortable for your rear. Have you got a safety helmet? Are you really going to do a long ride, if so is it for charity?

Oh god! Its like having Extreme back!!!


I still can't get the image of lycra out of my mind!


With regards to the unknown object.... maybe its a Transformer and it "Transforms" into a giant lycra clad robot whose sole objective it to clog up the roads and irritate drivers?

Are you being a bit unfair to Mitzy here, just because he doesnt understand the more sophisticated "extras" on the bike, like the bell, does not mean that he should not be let out alone.

Oh, well I will say no more, you obviously know what the score is, just make sure he puts his helmet on and has a paper with his name and address on with him, when he starts his travels.
