Review: Verbal Bicycle Bell

Bicycle safety is all about giving the right signals especially when you approach another bike or pedestrian while riding on one. Usually it’s the verbal signals that get the most attention. As an alternative to shouting verbal signals until you get hoarse, here’s a Verbal Bicycle Bell that will prove quite useful.

The Verbal Bicycle Bell is a device that allows you to record an audio message that would effectively warn others as you approach on your bike. You can record a warning signal and play it at just a touch of a button. It comes with a 44m built-in speaker that can play your verbal records at 80 decibels, loud enough to hear over ambient noise. It can also play a traditional bell sound if you choose to use it. The Verbal Bicycle Bell is available at Hammacher Schlemmer for US$25.
