Description
This metal bicycle bell carries a toothy shark across its domed top, rising out of a dark blue sea. The shark is printed in soft green and pale cream, its open jaw and neat row of teeth following the curve, with a fin sweeping down the side towards the base. The rest of the bell, the thumb lever and the fitting bracket are finished in the same dark blue, so everything matches once it is on. The bell itself is 5.8cm across, and the complete piece measures 7.9cm long and 5.3cm high, weighing 0.095KG.
It is easy to fit to the handlebars of a children's bike or scooter, where its compact dome sits neatly beside the grip. The thumb lever reaches out to one side, close enough to flick without letting go of the handlebar, so a quick ring lets walkers on a shared path know a rider is coming. With the shark grinning up towards the rider, it adds a bit of character to the school run, a trip to the park or a weekend loop round the block. It is a small touch that makes a familiar bike feel a little more their own.
Everything needed to fit it comes with the bell: a curved bracket and two screws. The bracket wraps round the handlebar and the screws hold it to the base of the bell, so it takes only a screwdriver and a few minutes. Tighten the screws firmly so the bell sits steady and the lever falls naturally under the thumb. The metal has a smooth, glossy finish; wipe it with a damp cloth after a muddy ride and dry it well, and keeping the bike under cover between rides helps it look its best. Wrapped with a bow or fitted before the bike is wheeled out, it makes, we think, a cheerful small present that is ready to ring the moment it is on.
