What a life saver that bell on my handlebars is. Use to warn those
hikers on the trails. Yes and more. See I do a lot of night riding,late and early. Deer are on the move mostly early morning before sun up. Had a herd run in front of me. Ding ding ding the bell went so they wouldn't try it again since the trail turned and they were running along side it. And let the tented homeless know I'm just saying hello or good morning. |

Yeah, I love the bell on my townie. I used to have a t-rex horn too but it broke because it was too cold. Luckily I have the metal bell as backup! Matt |

Matt When it comes to freezing cold and old age plastic won't hold up. Only my Sram derailleurs hold up. My bell is off a 20 something dutch bike and its metal too. Snap there goes another plastic part. No deer dead on the trails or roads so far this winter here. Even Zipp Ties don't hold up. Had the ones holding my mini pump to bracket break twice this winter and its really didn't get freezing cold till Jan. And still waiting on some inches of snow to ride in. And I love virgin snow. |

I skied 18" of new snow at Monarch yesterday. With that much and the day starting at 6 F, it was not conducive to riding. Then it only got colder and when I stopped (due to cold) at 3:20 it was 4 F. Brrr. But the snow was so nice and dry! Matt (had a plastic door handle break off my car once at -30 too) |

Hope it stays cold, cause this weekend is out (auditions all weekend - gotta keep the vocal cords warm). -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws |

My voice sounded like I had a sore throat after skiing last night. A steam shower helped. Good luck! Matt |
