One only ever used the handlebars for hanging on or steering -- to operate the brake you backpedalled. That meant you had a hand free to muck around with a woefully inadequate bell. The lack of distractions meant there was a good chance the pedestrian concerned would hear you and react. If you can't manage to brake and bell at the same time, then you are riding a bike you can't manage. I dare you to panic brake at the limit of traction and operate the bell while the back wheel is hovering in the air. My "or similar warning device" is hands free, volume and intent self modifying dependent on the circumstance, and has been used to stop motorists on numerous occasions. It's called "voice". -- JS |
