Knog Oi bicycle bell rings in the changes

What better way to ring in the changes of a new year than a beautifully engineered titanium bicycle bell?

Unlike a traditional bicycle bell, the Oi bicycle bell wraps discreetly around the handlebar in a way that looks as good on a vintage ride as it does on a road bike.

As well as reexamining the way a traditional bicycle bell looks, Australian company Knog examined its sound. While the alloy used in the most basic models might be cheap to produce, the flimsy plastic used to strike the dome produces a tinny sound. The Oi bicycle bell uses a spring-loaded actuator to strike firm and fast, resulting in a good balance of volume and longevity of sound. The bell has several pitch tones - one core and several supportive higher tones.

Your handlebars wear a bell as your wrist sports a watch. It may not be essential, but it’s useful and can look good, too. The bells fitted by law to all new bicycles are cheap and nasty looking – and almost always quickly removed once the bike leaves the shop. This is unfortunate because if you cycle on tracks and paths shared with others, they are a polite way of announcing your approach, especially if followed with a verbal greeting and request to pass.
