Just like most places, my local trails are commonly populated with hikers. Even when I announce myself "COMING UP BEHIND YOU!!" it seems that they are not aware of me. The other day on a very wide open section of trail there was a group of 8 people hiking and walking a couple of dogs off leash, I announced myself and nobody could hear me over their banter. I basically had to come to a crawl and get right up behind them and yell. They were all so surprised.
I was going to order the timber bell, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. I found the Spur cycle Bell. https://www.spurcycle.com/products/better-bicycle-bell
This looks like a quality product, and it seems (hopefully) rather noticeable on an otherwise quiet trail. I should have it in a few days and look forward to trying it out.
Who else here uses a bell when they ride? What has your experience been?
