  • This $50 Spurcycle Bell is a work of art. I unbox, check it out, and install it on my Gravel bike.

    Why would anyone want to spend $50 for a well crafted, great looking and an incredible sounding handlebar bell made by actual artisan bell makers? Whether it’s wheels, kits or shoes we’re buying. If you have to ask you probably wouldn’t understand. These bells are beautiful! Life’s short, just buy one.

    I got a couple close calls on some mtb trails and decided to get this bell, the guy at the bike shop after I told him I only ride trails said to get this one, it’s $69 now, yikes! So expensive but better safe than sorry and it is sleek, super small and pretty loud, still can’t believe I spent $70 on a bicycle bell, lol.

      I had the Knog Oi for months and it’s honestly terrible. The spring on the Oi is very low quality. My Spurcycle bell actually just came in today and the difference is amazing. You really get what you paid for

People always think I'm being hostile toward them, when really I am just trying to get by without startling them. It is a bike lane after all.

    $50 for bell?, no F... way. The frequency is too high for the middle age person.... best to use a wind chime.
    the traditional tring tring bell works far better in grabbing the attention of pedestrians.
    Crane suzi is a far better option.
