Collection: Bicycle bells

A bicycle bell is a small but essential part of your cycling gear. Whether you're cycling daily through the city, riding your racing bike through the countryside, or enjoying nature rides on your e-bike, a good bicycle bell on your handlebars ensures safety and audibility while on the road. In many countries, including the Netherlands, it's also mandatory to have a bicycle bell on your bike.

Why is a bicycle bell important?

A bicycle bell helps you warn other road users of your presence in a timely and clear manner. Especially on busy bike paths or narrow roads, it's crucial that you can signal your presence in a friendly and audible manner. This prevents unsafe situations and misunderstandings.

Benefits of a good bicycle bell:

• Increases your safety and that of others
• Mandatory when participating in traffic
• Fast and clear communication on the cycle path
• Compact and lightweight
• Easy to assemble

Types of bicycle bells for every type of cyclist

There's a wide variety of bicycle bells, each with its own unique style, sound, and purpose. Whether you're looking for a classic bell, a compact bell for your racing bike, or a designer bell with a clear sound, there's always a model to suit your bike and riding style.

1. Classic bicycle bells

The classic bicycle bell with a metal chime and rotating mechanism is still popular. These bells are robust, reliable, and produce a clear, friendly sound. They fit perfectly on city bikes, granny bikes, and children's bikes.

2. Compact sporty bicycle bells

For road cyclists, mountain bikers, and gravel riders, there are lightweight bells that take up minimal space on the handlebars and are aerodynamically designed. These bells often have a discreet appearance, yet produce a clear and powerful sound.

Popular features:

• Lightweight aluminum or plastic
• Minimalist design
• Suitable for handlebars of racing bikes and MTBs
• One-handed operation, even with gloves

3. Electronic bicycle bells

The modern e-bike requires a matching bell. Electronic bicycle bells produce a loud, sharp signal, often with multiple volume settings. They're ideal for seniors or commuters who cycle through heavy traffic every day.

Advantages:

• Very loud and clearly audible
• Often with multiple tone settings
• Rechargeable or battery powered
• Easy operation

4. Children's bicycle bells

Children often enjoy having a distinctive bicycle bell on their bike. Bright colors, animal prints, or shapes like a horn or flower make cycling more fun and safer. They also learn road safety behavior through play.

5. Bicycle computer with internal bicycle bell

Many cyclists, mountain bikers, and gravel bikers don't have or want a bell on their bike. Garmin and Wahoo have come up with a solution: internal bells in their top-of-the-line bike computers . This eliminates the need to mount a bell on your bike, allowing you to always have one with you using your bike computer.

What should you pay attention to when buying a bicycle bell?

Choosing the right bicycle bell depends on your cycling habits, personal preferences, and the type of bicycle. When choosing a bell, consider the following:

• Volume and pitch: Choose a bell that is clearly audible in your environment (city, forest, cycle path).
• Installation: Check that the bell fits your handlebar diameter. Some models are universal, others have specific mounting options.
• Weight and design: For racing bikes or sports bikes, a light and compact model is recommended.
• Operation: Make sure you can easily use the bell while cycling, even when wearing gloves.
• Durability: Choose rust-resistant materials like aluminum or stainless steel for long-term use.
