Ok, so maybe a big chunky bell could ruin the overall look of your vintage fixed-gear bike with antique leather saddle and ironic basket, but when you are cycling to your favourite independent, responsibly sourced, dairy-free coffee shop you need something to make the plebeians move out of the way. Fear not- Spurcycle have designed possibly one of the most attractive bicycle bells to compliment you hipster bike (side note: this bell will also work on non-hipster bikes).

The Spurcycle bell arrives in modest and recyclable cardboard packaging. It is available in both a ‘Raw Metal’ finish (which looks beautiful) or in a ‘Black Diamond Like Carbon’ coating. The bell has two rubber feet on the bottom to protect your bike’s paintwork and keep it from sliding around, but the bands used to fix the bell onto the handlebars are made from metal. If you are super precious about your paintwork, it might be worth switching them for plastic ones, but this will compromise the overall look of the bell.

The Spurcycle is simple to attach: it comes with two bands (22-26mm or 30-36mm) which you insert into the nut slots and release to lock the bell in place. Then, simply position the bell forward or upright and tighten the bolt with the included Allen key to secure it. With a flick of the paper clip style switch, the bell produces a clean and pleasant “ding” that rings three times longer than regular bells and is loud enough to pre-warn people without scaring the living daylights out of them.

I fell in love with this little bell - its attractive, raw design and happy singing sound will make the perfect addition to any bike. RRP £49
