The ting ting

This is my new brass bell, purchased from the well-mannered wheelmen at Velorution, which is fast becoming my favourite London bike shop.

All too often cyclists -- myself among them -- succumb to Bike Rage, snarling and feinting through the wreckage-strewn city streets. Like certain kinds of bully, the traffic can be both cruel and stupid, and it encourages reciprocity.

But the bell is a sign of civility and simple decency.

So ring your bell, I say! Ring it and smile and wave.
