Flying Horse

Hanging 2 from the handlebar wires.
Got 2 bells one Christmas, so I had to mount both.
Can't be too safe! I have mine on the cross brace on the upper down tubes also.

No one has pointed it out so it could be kind of hidden but I think that's how it should be.

Mines in the same spot, seemed out of the way.

Mine are ringing in my ears, mainly the left ear, all the times. That's what working on heavy equipment will do for you. But in all honesty, I don't find the bell thing necessary. Superstition is a lame exuse for not believing in a higher power.
