I spotted this while wandering through the backstreets of Norwich. You might not be able to see it clearly, what with the rust and the ill-considered camera angle, but that’s St Christopher.
What better to have on the face of a bell than the patron saint of travelers? I’m agnostic, but I still want one.
I’ve never had a bell on a bike before, but I think my town cruiser could do with one to clear the path of ambling shoppers. Does anybody know of any theft/tamper-proof ones?
Do some make a more pleasing “ding” than others? Can you buy them in certain notes? Or are they all much the same? Questions, questions…

The Avenir Bing-Bong Bell sounds like an old-fashioned doorbell. Very distinctive. Very pleasing
I also have a St Chris’ bell. Came on an old British shopper from a charity shop. I fondly refer to as my Jesus bell. It sticks frequently, making me yell – “Ring Jesus!” at it. Which also makes people move out of the way.
