Cyclists. Sorry..

[Sea Dog]

i cycle every day,

 

i don't have a bell on my bike because if there is anyone in the way i wait behind until there's enough room to pass and then pass slowly,

 

ringing a bell at someone is rude.

 

Maybe if one was to quietly hurtle up behind and then ring the bell like crazy it might be rude, but there's nowt wrong with a gentle 'ding' at a reasonable distance, surely? In fact, it just makes good sense because otherwise one's arrival from behind on something as quiet as a bicycle is almost always going to be a surprise, even at a slow speed. Just a thought.

 

 

Edited to add that I had noted you were being very considerate

I wonder does it come down to how one rings the bell?
