When bicycling locally and approaching pedestrians, it can startle them to shout that you're passing. The "old-fashioned bell of our youth" gives a timely and pleasant 'warning' that a bicyclist is nearing, giving them ample time to step aside - and it puts a smile on their faces as They remember "The Bell". A young man declared it "awesome". The word 'big' is misleading, as the bell is the size of those of Years ago. I tested other bell-types, but those were cumbersome to use, and didn't give an adequate warning sound. The price was reasonable and they arrived quickly.

Beautiful bell, wonderful tone except it should only be used by adults. Kids dump their bikes over...and over and this bell falls apart each and every time. Yes I can put it back together but it should not be used by kids if durability is an issue 1 star

This bell has a nice loud chime and it's a good size - not too big, not too small. It's easy to install with just a screwdriver required. 5 stars

Easy to install. Loud bell. I use it to alert joggers when I am bicycling in the park. Works very well. This bell does the trick. It certainly rings loud. Just what I need when riding in the park. I may purchase more for the children in the neighborhood. 5 stars

This bell was purchased for a grown man who rides around on a Quad. When he received this bell for a Christmas present, he said, "Now this is something I really like".
This bell can be used by young and old, and in so many different places. Giver, and receiver, are both happy with this product. 5 stars
