It's no secret that the key to any successful relationship is high quality, and frequent, communication. Bike trails and roads are no different, as they host multiple user groups -- cyclists, runners, hikers, equestrians, etc., and who wants to risk accidents or trail access issues' Use of a quality bell can easily help you avoid unwanted conflict. Engineered from the ground up to be the best possible bell, the Spurcycle Bell has re-established the bar for bells. It is crafted from premium brass and stainless steel in the good 'ol USA. This durable bell has a distinctive, yet pleasant tone that resonates up to three times as long as most bells -- an extended period whose effects are immeasurable while navigating crowded pedestrian malls or approaching blind corners or driveways.
