    I found that to be true. No one listens to a bike bell. I use my voice. However, I often have to be near pedestrians for them to hear as they are engrossed in a conversation on a cell phone or with other person and not paying attention. “Stop” or “Passing” [for cars pulling out of a driveway] or “Passing left” [pedestrians] works pretty good for me.

    Try a squeaktoy, like a dog’s chew-toy. Gets some great reactions on the bike paths!

    Has anyone here tried ORP? The bike horn and light?

    When you pass people striking for better wages/working conditions and ring your bell in support, they cheer and raise their picket signs, so that’s cool.
