Sale of bike bells

The bike bell or "acoustic signaling device" is a mandatory element for the Highway Code, along with front and rear lights, reflectors on the pedals and retroreflective vest to use city fires.

The bell should be used in situations where it is necessary to signal one's presence, at road intersections, in roads with the passage of both pedestrians and cyclists, in all busy urban areas.
