OK I know the score, I am out the door.

No, I had a list of where I had put the bits of paper, but I seem to have lost the list somewhere. I shall have to make a list of where I put the list. That might help

Aye the silly cyclists bell... does nothing to deter an idiot in a 4x4 that cuts infront of you. Actually mopeds are worse.. as you have no engine you are scum of the earth so just act like youre invisible.
Personally i'd like to replace my little bell with a big ass HGV horn. unfortunately the HGV horns are just too big and heavy to attach to a bike.. So perhaps I should look at a Boss speaker set up attached to an mp3 player with a recording of a HGV horn instead.. hmmm.. There is always a way

Maybe mine is not a bell either then, it just happens to ring albeit quiet quietly. Hope you solve the mystery.

If it works can you do my bike too along with a Scottish flag lol

I am sick of car drivers cutting me up and of them going in the outs and trying to knock me off my bike. Don't they know it is us cyclists that get points for running cars off the road. (thats a joke by the way)

I'm sick of cyclists weaving through traffic cutting in front of me whilst I am moving, you would think they had a DEATH WHISH.
When it comes to obeying traffic lights / crossings etc. don't even mention it

I'm cycling about 20 miles a day at the moment, and although the majority of car drivers seem to be quite courteous in that they move well away from you when passing, one or two have nearly had me off my bike on roundabouts. That tends to be when they are turning right and I am going straight on.

This morning a car came around a blind T junction at speed on the wrong side of the road. He narrowly missed a car coming the other way, but if he had swerved then it would have been me that took it head on!

:-) I don't weave through traffic, I want to live. I stay to right as much as possible, normally inside the white line at the side of road if there is one. I always obey the traffic lights/crossings. I have cycled the wrong way on a No Entry ... I was new here and did not look at signpost I followed a car !

As a pedestrian I loathe cyclists ! in town they rule, they have no thought for other road users of any kind

The lycra clad ones are worst ! in more ways than one

In view of the fact that his ding-a-ling-ling doesn't seem to be working so well, maybe a guy proceeding in front of him with a red flag would an appropriate additional safety factor.

I just found out why Mitzyboy only posted a photo of the steer and bell, obviously he did not want us to see the rest of his new bike:
