Last night I was back with a bell and I was determined to use it.
I cruised through the night daring pedestrians to step out and let me let loose. It took a couple of miles but I got lucky with a ninja pedestrian on her mobile. She started to step out....
Bing! Bing! Bing! Bing!
Yeah, that's right baby, I'm coming down the road fast and you're not on a crossing. I'll attempt not to hit you if you do end up stepping out there but this is to let you know that I exist and am painful when met at high speed.
She started a bit, gave me a filthy look and her Ugg boot retreated back to the kerb from whence it came.
I felt victorious. The bing is BACK!

ReplyDeleteThe boyfriend got me a pretty new bell for Christmas (which I'd chosen)...but also couldn't bear to part with my original little ding-ding...so now I have two bells...one ring-ring and one ding-ding (it may be more of a ping-ping).
I like to stop behind people walking along cycle lanes (whilst on mobile phone or with headphones in) and give a nice loud ping and ding...a little cruel I know.
Cruel? Sounds hilarious!
