Default Alternative for gremlin bell

I really don’t buy into the whole gremlin bell tale and have always respectfully refused to attach one to a bike I owned. I recently gave in to peer pressure when presented with this alternative. Yes they do swing back and fort while the bike is moving. I’m looking for opinions.

I've always depended upon rider training and regular practice of basic and advanced skills in lieu of a gremlin bell.

My opinion - it's your bike - install what you like.

I have been riding since 1970 - never used a bell
