Bottom line is, it is a "BELL"... when shake it dings! So yes it works.
Now does it ward off evil spirits that can kill your bike, make you wreck, or any other malady? Who knows, I personally doubt it, but damn that thing looks cute hanging there under my floorboard and I know when I've leaned a tight corner cause I hear it dinging!!

Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor and in Latin lex parsimoniae) is a problem-solving principle devised by William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347). It states that among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Other, more complicated solutions may ultimately prove correct, but—in the absence of certainty—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better.
So by that definition, yes, they work!!!

True story, decided to take a different route home from work one day, little more traffic for a while but a better ride after getting thru it, came to the first light and turning slowly to the right when I heard the bell ringing away a bit louder than normal, proceeded about 15 feet and decided to look down at my floorboard and there was my bell sitting on top of my floorboard right in front of my boot.naturally I had to stop and grab it not to lose it. Did it pre warn me making me stop long enough to avoid something, who knows. I do know the bell was mounted 3 inches below my floorboard on the bracket with a black zip tie about in the middle of the floorboard, how it made its way from down there to where it ended up has to make me wonder, so ya it's not coming off my bike any time soon
