Guide: Find your style, then find your bike bell

Your bike bell can say a lot about you—making it even harder to choose one.  Here’s a little guidance from the Bird Industries science (fiction) lab.

1)  Your loft is impeccable, and your fridge full of farmer’s market fare.
Your bell should be the PDW Alexander Graham Bell – $25
Clean lines.  Classic.  Elegant.

5)  You are one of a kind, and a little crafty. Did you knit that hat yourself?
You’re bell should be the DringDring Rotary Dial Bike Bell $20

6)  Sophisticated but understated.  Every detail of your wardrobe has been thought through, but looks effortless.
Your bell should be the Spurcycle Bell $35
Modern yet minimalist (so modern, in fact, that it’s still in the pre-order phase).
