I love the spurcycle bell I’ve got on my bike, but even though it’s very loud and I ding it like I’m blue oyster cult and someone’s got a fever, people still either ignore it or don’t register it until I’m right behind them. I do think it’s got something to do with local experience though- I grew up riding in an area where mini cowbells were available at the start of most trails (provided by local bike shops and trail orgs) and everyone knew the sound.
