I may need to get one of these. It gets very boring very quickly when you're cycling. I have a specific yell that seems to work when my current bell does not. However, people look quite aggrieved.

I checked if it was published the 1st of April, but no, it's serious.
From the video i couldn't hear any difference from normal bells

Just a design, not an actual product one can buy (yet?). Too bad.

For the crowd needing an affordable, beautiful and loud bell I just picked up a Mini Suzu for $25 CAD https://www.cranebellco.com/mini-suzu-bell

Maybe a nice bell but that site design is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Could they have a normal photo of the bell? Drives me crazy when sites do this. I know it’s not specific to this company either, I’ve seen tons of other companies that do this.

Can recommend the bicycle horn sold by Riese and Müller. Elevates your game from "might get attention of a pedestrian" to "will get attention from car drivers".

Yeah, but you shouldn't be using this on pedestrians. I have a bell on my ebike and an air horn, and wouldn't think to use the air horn on pedestrians. You still need a bell.

Agree, if I had an air horn that'd be a different topic. The RM are electric and make a good compromise.
