Took the day off today and decided that it would be good for a decent distance, so did just under a 30 miler with my co-rider. Connah's Quay to Chester and back. There is no real road work on the ride, only tarmaced cycle routes (old railway route ).
I have a bell on my bike and my mate doesn't, I was politely told it is so uncool to have a bell to warn pedestrians you are coming. Then realised half way round the cycle route he warns people we are coming up to them by coughing loudly
I thought he had a cold!
Is it really that uncool to have bell on your bike, or should you cough loudly, whistle, shout?
Personally I whistle, people think i'm a jogger. I've found that people occasionally don't realise what the bell is and i don't have space on my bars for it due to their narrow width.
