  1. "The bell is back. The Incredibell is small. It weighs just about nothing. Only a truly heartless bastard would steal it. It's about the most cheerful thing on your bike. It is simply the coolest, most dignified way there is to say "I'm coming. Please be careful." If you don't have one, you'll just end up grumbling unrecognizable noises or clicking your brake levers at some grandma or a cute female. These behaviors contribute to the perception that bicyclists are 'wierd,' 'geeky,' and self-centered. By contrast, ringing a bell evokes all the charm of the bike aura and spreads the love, big time. So get yourself a bell! I used to have a girlfriend, who, every time she came over, she'd ring her bike bell outside my apartment to let me know she was home. All the way up in the attic I'd hear the mellifluous tones and run down to greet her. That bell, ladies and gentlemen, was an Incredibell." Sounds like a nice bell.
