I didn't know there was that much to know about cowbells

i got a small one at a pet store for my dog during hunting season, since his passing, i just hang it from my seatpost. it's annoying, but i haven't been shot yet!
mostly i'm going too slow, but sometimes i feel like i'm racing with fans on the side clanging their cowbells
gotta look for a plus when making all that noise on my SS

REI has the small ones with a magnet so you can stop the clanging when it drives you nuts. Also, contact a local bicycle advocacy group. Down here in San Diego, we give them away.

Thanx guys! I might just stop by the path during lunch. I've never been there and everyone in the local area seems to recommend them so I think it'll be a good time to go check them out. :thumbsup:slowrider said:

Apparently The Path ran out of the small ones and they only have the size a little smaller than a baseball. One of the friendly employees told me over the phone that, just like Boulder Pilot (funny name) said, to check out maybe REI or a hobby store like Michaels. Anyways.. Thanx for all the info fellas hopefully I'll find this elusive bell sooner than later.

·i got one from the path recently, not cowbell per say but the type that you hit with the thumb and gives a high pitched "DINGGGGG" works well. though sometimes i need that thumb on a sketchy downhill with walkers/runners in the distance. i'm thinking about going cowbell as well, let us know what you decide

I stopped by REI Santa Ana with no luck. REI Huntington Beach definitely doesn't have them. I still have to stop by a craft store like Michaels. There's one nearby but I'm going mtb biking tonite. Will have to look again tomorrow. Maybe I'll just go to The Path and see if I can order one. Petco didn't have any either btw. 
they have one at the REI sta. ana but as mtrh8 said, look for bear bells. I think they are in the hiking section rather than the biking section: http://www.rei.com/product/721998

If you have an arts and crafts store near by, they have little bags of "jinglebells" for 99 cents. I just bought a bag of 8 of them last night - the mid size ones about the size of a large marble. Will these be loud enough? Who knows but the price is right. Now all I need is a "mounting kit" (zip tie).
... sorry, that's not exactly a cow bell is it...

I saw some small ones in Wal-Mart in the fishing section. I guess you hang them from your pole so you know when you have a fish. They were something like $1.99 for two.
