RE: Bell
I never heard of this..but to be honest..it sounds like all other superstitions...stupid. And so what happens when somebody who has these bells cracks up or breaks down? So much for that one 
When somebody tells me something that they do superstitiously, I laugh and do just the opposite. So basically, I walk under ladders, I put my new shoes on the table, I ride without these so called bells, I break mirrors religiously, I own a black cat (and she's adorable), I put a hat on in bed, I cut my fingernails on Friday, I ALWAYS open my umbrella before I walk outside, I step on cracks in the sidewalk, when I'm riding/driving, I aim for sparrows, and I always try to push candles off the table. Notice a trend here...me neither...superstitions are dopey and mean nothing. But hey..if it makes you feel better to ease your OCD by adhering to mystical nonesense, go for it.
BTW..I probably have a problem with superstitions so much because for years I walked around with a pain in my groin...my grandfather told me I'd go blind and I believed him...bastard!

RE: Bell
I bought my bike back in march and my dad bought me a bell to keep me safe. A week ago i was riding 2 up so my bike way a little low and i went out a steep gas station driveway and the bell torn off the key chain i had it attached to on the bottom of the frame. I rode for about 2 days and my dad bought me a new one, and i mounted it to the forward control, so i don't lose it again.
