 My Ding-A-Ling, My Ding-A-Ling... err, sorry, it's my Dinger!, October 20, 2008
By JargonTalk (Bucks County, PA USA)
|
|
No, this isn't a plug for My Ding-A-Ling, though Chuck Berry's only US number-one single on the pop charts is a funny rock classic. It's a review for the Mirrycle Incredibell, and you can make yourself heard on the road or on a trail with this one.
It's light, little, and loud, it's easy to mount to almost any handlebar, and only takes up about 1/4" of your prized bar space. The ingeniously-designed pivoting 'dinger' allows this bell to be used in a variety of handlebar positions, as it can be rotated 360 degrees.
The bell has a clean, crisp ring. You can control the sound by giving a polite little ding or an attention-getting sharp ring by controlling the thumb action on the dinger, which is quite easy to master. It's quite recognizable as a bicycle bell, and isn't confused to something else. It's easily loud enough for signaling pedestrians and other cyclists. It's also great for warning deer (they run), but not for wandering cows (which just don't heed any kind of warning).
Pros:
* Small, compact, and it sounds good.
* Good looking, light, easy to use, work
* Loud sound for its size, has a pleasant tone.
* Quite reasonable in price, excellent value.
Cons:
* Not loud enough to effectively warn vehicles in traffic.
* Not loud enough to warn idiots hooked up to a loud iPod with headphones.
Some state laws require cyclists to issue an audible warning when overtaking a pedestrian. That can be a vocal warning, but yelling at walkers and runners doesn't cut it, so a bell is the ideal solution. It should be noted that this bell (or any other one) isn't very effective on most city bike trails when the walker/jogger is hooked up to a loud iPod and wearing headphones, lost in a world of his or her own.
If you think you need a slightly louder version, there's the slightly larger Mirrycle Incredibell XL, which might do the job. But if you feel that you need to issue a louder warning that this, just go all out and get a 115 dB Delta Airzound Bike Horn, which is about as loud as the horn on an 18-wheeler... seriously.
Note: there are a number of small bells out there that look similar to the Incredibell. Many of these are either poorly made, or have a dinger spring that rusts out in record time. There are some decent copies, but at the low price of the real thing, why not just spring for the best.
This little Incredibell is one of the best functional gadgets that you can get for your bike, and it also makes a great (and well-appreciated) for any cyclist gift.
Now play your Dinger, and sing along with me...

I've had one of these little beasts for almost 10 years on my mountain bike. It's loud and very simple. I'm buying another for a new bike.

 Super high pitched annoying ring, August 10, 2009
By RissaRoo (All over the USA)
|
|
I think this will be the first time I ever returned something to Amazon. This is a fine bell and loud, like the other reviewers said.
However, I never even attached it to my bike. After ringing it, I discovered that it has a very high pitched ring. I wear digital hearing aids and the pitch of this ring was enough to make them squeak! My hearing aids are programmed to adjust automatically and I've never had a problem like this with them, but something about the tone of this bell makes them unable to respond appropriately and I get this whistling aftereffect. From a few feet away it might not bother me (ie on someone else's bike) but I don't think I could stand using this on my own bike.
But, it would probably be fine for most users with normal hearing.

Perfect!, April 24, 2009
By deadly car bomb (flo mo us)
|
|
This is the third bell I've purchased in an attempt to find one I like that also doesn't ring when I don't want it to. One bike bell I bought would ring at every bump. This bell was about half of the size I thought it was going to be, which is great. Even when I jump (bunny hop) over things with my bike, it doesn't ring; it only rings when I want it to. I especially like how it's available in three different colors. The chrome/silver one perfectly matches my bike. It blends in so that you don't even notice it unless you're up close. It's also the ideal volume for a bike bell. Perfect!

 Very good, but DOESN'T WORK AT ALL IN RAIN, December 29, 2010
By prof (United States)
|
|
I have been using this bell for about 7 months in the bike capital of Europe (if not the world!), Amsterdam.
Generally speaking, it deserves a very high rating, reflected by many of the reviews. When there's no precipitation, it's great. However, if you live in a rainy area and you are forced to leave the bike outside, forget it. The bell becomes virtually useless. No matter how far back you pull the hammer, the water will almost completely dampen the sharp 'ping' that you'd normally hear.
If you bike where it's rainy, skip this bell and find one that doesn't depend on a hammer.

 Check your handlebar size!, June 3, 2011
By J. Renaut (Washington, DC)
|
|
This is a nice bell, but MAKE SURE you check the handlebar size on your bike. It doesn't even come close to fitting around the bar on my bike (A new Giant road bike). My understanding is that most newer bikes are using handlebars with a much larger diameter than older bikes, and this bell won't fit on them.

Good Item, but color in picture is wrong, May 10, 2011
By Brendan
|
|
It looks like a good bike bell, nice and loud and easy mounting. Also good price/free shipping. Only gripe is that the photo of the "silver" one is wrong. It makes it look like it has a matte white finish. It is in fact polished steel so it looks more like the one called "gold solo" but it is silver instead of gold. Just something to bear in mind.

Good basic bell, June 15, 2010
By E. Cimino (Hagerstown, MD USA)
|
|
This is a nice bicycle bell and fits almost anywhere due to it's small size and the fact that you can rotate the trigger to any position.
Although I had listened to the various bell sounds on the Mirrycle website, I still didn't get the idea that this is a single-ding design and not the kind of bell where you push down on a spring-loaded trigger that makes sound on both the push-down and the release. On this bell, the trigger itself makes the sound when released. Maybe everybody reading this already knows that, but just in case you're a noob like me...
I should say that this bell will get attention. Almost every path walker jumps when they here it, no matter how far back I am. Although it has a pleasant sounding ring, make no mistake, it gets the job done.

 The spring eventually stretches and then hard to ring, July 8, 2011
By christopher f brown
|
|
The spring eventually stretches and then won't ring well or maybe not at all. The spring won't bend back. Have tried two from this name brand company and if you hit it quickly and jam it to warn someone then it may get stretched. I ride a lot and find it hard to find a good durable bell. This is probably good for the casual user. My Trek bike has a built in bell that has lasted for years; wish i could buy it somewhere.

ding ding, May 8, 2011
By J. Chan
|
|
Works as advertised. It'd be great if it the bell ring was a little louder though. The price on amazon was comparable to prices in a bike store (in NYC) and so if you want it sooner than later, just head on over to your local bike shop.

Great bell for my mountainbike - very clever, March 21, 2011
By Big D (Memphis, TN United States)
|
|
I spend a lot of time riding on public paths getting between my house and mountain bike trails, so I need a bell. And this is a very light, small, loud bell that looks decent on a mountain bike. Easy to put in almost any position, black and small so it blends into the handlebars and grips, shifter etcetera.
Very clever design, the makers of this have done very well.

very important for bike paths & commuting, March 17, 2011
By Jazzman (Vermont)
|
|
These bells are not toys. Every biker who pedals around walkers, other bikers, and through traffic, should have one of these on their handle bar. Proclaiming, "coming up on your left," as you pass a walker on a bike path is usually information too late, that doesn't fully register with the person you are trying to warn. Gently clicking the bell a couple single tones, 25' back, gives very ample warning that you exist, and are probably coming their way - without startling. It is so very effective !!
My only problem is minor. The screw on clamp is not meant for repeated removal and re-installation. Not a problem with my home bike, since I never take it off. But my wife and I carry a couple with us when we travel, to put on rental bikes, and I fear that the screw threads of the sleeve (on the clamp) won't take too many more installations/removals. No biggie, I'll probably just use a plastic zip tie.
Rear view mirrors get mixed reviews, with regard to utility. These are a no-brainer, in fact, I think they should be required, just as lights & reflectors are after dark.

Easy to install and well built bell!, June 3, 2010
By Jan (California)
|
|
Delivery was quick and the bell quality is excellent. It doesn't make much noise on the handlebar when I hit some bumps. I keep it next to my left index finger about 3/4 of an inch from the end of my left hand grip. Works perfectly and I've already used it a number of times just to let people in cars and other bicyclists know that I'm around.

Love My Incredibell!, April 20, 2010
By Katawampas (USA)
|
|
I love this little bell. It makes a nice "ting" sound that's not obnoxious but warns others on the bike trail that I want to pass. It was really easy to put on my bike & can be adjusted for the perfect position without removing it.
Ting Ting!

Does what it's supposed to!, April 15, 2010
By E. Tom (Texas)
|
|
I do most of my riding on mixed use (bike/pedestrian/joggers) paved trails where I come up on others from behind. This is a good little bell that is a cinch to install and doesn't take up much space at all on your handlebars. It can be mounted at any angle, so I positioned it right next to my left hand grip with the bell and thumb trigger facing towards the rear of my bike, within easy reach so I don't have to take my hand off the grip to use it. Makes a nice ringing sound. For getting the attention of motor vehicles, I also purchased a Delta Airzound which is much louder and positioned that next to my right hand grip. So, now I should be able to get the attention of just about anyone that I need to while riding.

CUTEST BELL EVER!! Very Loud for its Size but never intrusive, October 24, 2009
By winshay
|
|
im in the philippines and am a bike enthusiast, there aren't too many people who take the initiative to put a bell on their bikes in the city where i live, so practically strangers call upto me now mimicking the sound of this bell whenever i pass them by. it's such a hit. i do get the attention of pedestrians when i flick the switch but haven't had a bad reaction from anyone yet because it gives off a very surprisingly loud yet pleasant DING! i just love it. would highly recommend this! i'm actually planning on buying the XL size. ^_^ woot to incredibell!

By BNS (NY USA)

Very good product bu be aware that for some bikes with a thiner handle at the extremities it does not fit. My solution to that: cut half of the internal foam, it's working.
Bottom line: very nice product, fair price, delivered on time. recommend

Ding Ding!, April 24, 2009
By pebblepuppy (Missouri)
|
|
It's small, but it's loud for its size for sure. Just what you need on a busy public trail. It's simple, straight forward and it works great. It slipped right on my Trek bike handlebar and tightened securely. No worries. I'm off for a ride now. DING DING!

Simply Good, September 30, 2009
By Live Love Laugh (Philadelphia, PA)
|
|
It's a simple design, easy to install, and does the job. If I could mount it closer to where my thumb rests, it would be great. But that is in part due to the design of my handle bars (mountain bike) and not the product.

Mirrycle Incredibell Original Bicycle Hell, December 20, 2010
By A casual stroll through the lu.. (Prague)
|
|
After a near-crash accident involving a circus elephant in Berlin, I needed something to warn animals, pedestrians, or persons traveling on wheelchairs. I got the Mirrycle Incredibell Bicycle Bell.
It didn't come with instructions so I couldn't figure out how to mount it or use it. After many times of attempted use on the bike, I was suffering from Laryngitis (swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the voice box) at the time so I couldn't yell out, I just gave up and got a bird whistle that I tied with a string around my neck.

The mount is WAY too small for standard (Trek) handlebars, October 31, 2011
By J. Fullerton (Sterling, VA)
|
|
I'm not sure who this bell is designed for, but the bell mount is WAY too small for what I would have considered "standard" handlebars. I have a 2011 Trek and this mount is too small by nearly an inch! There is no way to make it fit. I think this might fit a kids bicycle.

Small, shiny, loud., January 15, 2012
By SharpBuyer
|

Pros
*Fit on bike is secure
*Easily added to bike
*Ring is loud
*Reasonably durable
*Nice luster
*Has not rusted, or blemished - Have owned it for ~3 years
*Cheap: Payed ~$10
Con: Completely subjective - For others, it should produce a louder and more sustained ring. For me, it performs up to expectations.
Note: The brass color is shinier than depicted in Amazon's picture.

Small, and easy to install in narrow handlebars, October 22, 2011

simple and small, October 11, 2011
By solocanoe (fort smith, ar)
|
|
It's not a law for me to have a bell where I am - but it's still a great idea. I've been commuting on my bike for a few months when I go the main office. This bell appealed to me as it's small, black, and generally blends in pretty well on my commuter bike.
Being able to rotate the dinger really does make help. Being able to mount it over, under, or left/right side of bars is pretty smart. I ended up mounting it in a different place than I thought I would...and the design flexibility allowed me to do that.
Certainly loud enough and easy to actuate

Decent bell, crappy mount, October 5, 2011
By John
|
|
I have a relatively new road bike, and the mount on this will not fit the thicker handlebars found on most modern road bikes. The loop just isn't big enough. I made do with some string, but it would have been nice if the bell would mount without having to resort to that. The road bike version of the bell only works with Shimano shifters, which is not what I have, so that wasn't really an option either.
The bell itself is easy to operate and has a clear ding sound. It's pretty much just a hammer and bell, so there's not much that can potentially break, which is nice.

By InfoSeeker (Wausau, Wisconsin)

Got this for warning pedestrians on a pathway while biking. It has a spring lever that can be pulled back a little for a light ring or pulled back farther for a louder ring. It is compact and mounts easily, looks nice and so far is robust. It is actually no frills but I'd recommend.

Single Dinnnng - Works Well, August 26, 2011
By S. Faulk (Sacramento, CA United States)
|
|
When I purchased this for some reason I was thinking I was getting one of those old fashioned style bells that makes a ring like I had 40 years ago on my Schwinn. I am sure you know the type we had when we were kids, as you push it forward with your thumb it makes a bell ring like an old phone. When the Mirrycle bell arrived I found it was a single bell using simple strike action. You just push down the strike and when you release you get a nice loud DINNNNG.
I am pleasantly happy I ended up purchasing this item because the bell is loud enough to get other riders attention for passing even from a reasonable distance away (provided they aren't blasting music in a headset). As far as installation goes, I did read some reviews where the attachment strap did not fit the purchaser's bikes but it fit mine perfectly. I have a Trek hybrid bike and had no problem installing this on the handlebar in about 1 minute. You will need a smaller Phillips head screwdriver for the install.
I will edit this review should any changes arise but so far I am very happy.

Perfect, August 19, 2011
By L. Busch (Somerville, MA USA)
|
|
I love this bell. It is small -- a little smaller in diameter than the width of my two thumbs. The sound is pure and lovely. The design allows me to position it perfectly. The clamp is closed via a small phillips-head screw, and the interior of the clamp has a soft plastic pad for some friction and protection. The black version disappears on my black handlebars, so it's not junking up my bike. It's made in Japan, not China, so although it's still not good for USA jobs, at least I'm spreading my money around ;-)

Great bell, August 2, 2011
By Glenn R. Bass (NC, USA)
|
|
I bought this bell for my wife's vintage cruiser bicycle. It is small,easy to install,easy to use, and is loud but not an annoying loud. It comes in different finishes, not just black. She loves it and dings it whenever she is riding her bike (I even find myself dinging it from time to time). We are going to get another one for her mother's cruiser bike. It can also be neat for a kids bike. I dont have any children but I can see where they would love it. Maybe I should get one for my mountain bike. :)

Nice, simple, classy. It looks sharp on my new Nirve cruiser and makes a nice solid "ting." I like that the thumb piece can be rotated for the optimum angle. I don't think you could ask for more from a bike bell.

Always good, July 3, 2011
By AB (Seattle, WA USA)

Good standard bell. 2nd one (bought for another bike). One thing they improved is the range of motion (seems to go down just the right amount). Still doesn't work well when wet/rain (but people aren't out that I need to ding the bell out usually then).
Note: this one won't fit oversize handlebars... make sure you measure.

Bike Bell, June 25, 2011
By JT

I really like this bell and so does my son. It is very adjustable on the bars and can be installed anywhere you personally like. It is smaller than a golf ball, light and very loud for the size. I like that it doesn't interfer with any other of my components on the bike. Buy one for everyone in the family.

A little black bell, June 11, 2011
By Frugal Too (Atlanta, Georgia USA)
|
|
I was surprised that this little bell doesn't work like the bicycle bells I had when I was a kid. There are no internal working parts. The bell is just a little metal dome; like a tiny bell tower bell. The bell is struck by the plastic thumb piece. It's simple. It should last a long time; until the plastic thumb piece wears out. The thumb piece can be rotated around the bell, so it can be placed exactly where one wants it. The sound is a crisp ringing sound. I ride my scooter on the sidewalk. This bell does the job of warning pedestrians that I am approaching.

My Bike Path Dinger ~!, January 3, 2011
By R. Peter Crockett (Akron, OH USA)
|
|
It's little, it's light, it's just right :)
I have one of these on every one of my Bicycles and 'bent Trikes~! The 'ding' is perfect, not too loud to startle or upset, but is recognized by everyone that I ride by.
For road use, you'll want something much louder (to deal with cars), but for MUPs this is just right. Easy to mount, stays where you put it, you can rotate the thumb button to the perfect spot and it just works - every time.
I'll keep buying these for any new rides my family gets in the future.

Don't let the size fool ya!, December 30, 2010
By Southern Belle (Northern AL)
|

Ordered this for my son's bike and it is perfect. So perfect that I am back on here today to get one for my daughter and myself. The bell is small and offers a nice, consistent "ding" that is adjustable according to how hard you strike it. I love that it can rotate 360 degrees allowing for different positions. With a variety of colors to choose from, I highly recommend this bell to anyone!

Tiny but loud, October 25, 2010
By A. Scharfenberger (Nashville, TN)
|
|
I saw this bell on a bike at the local bike shop where I was going for a test ride. I liked that it was small but loud over the busy traffic noise in front of the shop. Once I chose a bike I made sure to order this bell. It was very easy to install (one screw) and stays snug on the handlebar. It makes a neat "ping" noise which sets it apart from other bells. I would recommend this to anyone in an urban, suburban, or rural area.

Small, loud, effective, October 14, 2010
By Charles Darwin (Denver, Co)
|

This takes up little space, is loud enough to be heard quite a distance away (although you must consider ambient noise), and gets pedestrian's attention on the bike trail or along the street - which is what you want. I've used this many a time and often find that the pedestrian will give a little leap of surprise when I ring it, even when 50 feet away. It's not an annoying sound or overly loud. Just right! Way better than whistling or yelling, which just comes off as rude. Get it; you'll love it.

Loud!, September 25, 2010
By Eriocaulon (United States)
|
|
My Trek actually came with a bell when it arrived. I tried that for a week and then put this one since I already purchased it. Man! This bell is just so much louder and rings with so much more consistency. Love that it has different colors to match your bike. My bike has black handlebars so the black IncrediBell was perfect.

Cute little bell, September 11, 2010
By Dr. Mom reads (Severna Park, Maryland)

Cute little bell with a nice sound. There was one on a bike I rented on vacation and I loved the bike and the bell. Doesn't seem like this little bell should cost this much, though.

Attaches easily, good sturdy design, pleasing "ding"! Not five stars because not quite loud enough for some city streets.

best in its class, March 23, 2010
By Seneca reader (Georgia)
|
|
positives:
Bell is solid brass on model I purchased (but also offered in black or silver).
Nice brass bell ring (sample audio offered on manufacturer's website [...] for all three).
Great design - rotational base, narrow clamp band.
Made in Japan, not China.
Small size.
Easy to install.
Fits handlebars 21.7mm to 26mm.
No plastic in packaging.
negatives:
Clamp is plastic though appears to be a flexible good quality plastic. I hope the plastic does not degrade in sunlight.
I hope the spring in the thumb striker does not fatigue and break.
Bottom line:
Appears to be best bike ringer available today, and I would buy it again and recommend it.

So glad my old bell broke, September 6, 2009
By AprilsMichele
|
|
I replaced a relatively new bell that had broken with the Mirrycle Incredible bicycle bell. So nice to have a working bell, the brass parts will find this bell working much longer than my last bell which housed plastic parts.

Ring-a-Ding-Ding, November 25, 2011
By CDawg (Phoenixville, PA United States)
|
|
I bought this bell for my wife's Trek 7000. Not too much to say other than it was easy to install and doesn't take up a lot of room on her handlebars. It's loud enough that people have no problems hearing it. I bought a similar, black-colored bell for my bike. My wife's silver-colored bell is definitely louder but both work well.

Bad fit and too expensive, November 12, 2011
By bikerider
|
|
These bells do not fit road bike handlebars. The inside diameter of the clamp is too small. I bought two (black and brass) and the brass one is even smaller. They will fit mountain bike handlebars.

Great for riding on bike trails. A safe, clear way to let others know you are approaching. Very easy to install on my bike. We bought two, one for me and one for my wife's bike.

Loud and clear, November 30, 2011
By V (Memphis, TN)

This bell is loud enough to use on a greenway to alert pedestrians I'm passing by. I've been a little rugged with my bike and the black paint has chipped away somewhat but I don't mind really.

Nice bell, but not what I thought it was, November 25, 2011
By Raymond W. Johns
|
|
Nice bell, but the way it works is to depress the spring loaded lever and then let it go and the up motion makes the ring. In my opinion it does not make the sound that someone would look up and say, "hey a bike is coming". Has a nice sound and it works but if you are buying it to make sure you get someone's attention you might not get what you want.

Excellent little bell, January 5, 2012
By BRITTGYPSY (SOUTH FLORIDA)
|
|
My wife's previous Trek bicycle had a built in bell on the brake handle assembly. She used it to good effect. When we purchased a new Schwinn recently she wanted a bell on it as well. This bell is similar to the bell on the Trek. It does the job and the price was right. Remember, this is a bell, not a foghorn. It will get the attention of most pedestrians who aren't preoccupied with ear buds in their ears.

Tricky to figure out how it works, January 2, 2012
By Laurie S. Prevatt
|
|
It was not obvious to us to press the hammer and release to get it to ring. Once we figured it out it was a good bell.

The Brass Ring!, January 1, 2012
By Lucas (Hobe Sound FL)
|
|
No moving parts, no batteries and it's loud enough to make people aware of your presence. Kind of a cute little bell, I suspect it is anodized as it's starting to spot a bit, but I like simplicity and this is it. Priced right and you have a choice of colors. What's not to like?

Works well, looks sharp, June 4, 2011
By G. Parker (Texas, USA)
|
|
This bell produces a nice clear ring. You pull back on the thumb device, and release to ring the bell. It rings louder the further you pull it back, so you can somewhat control how loud it is. It was easy to install and has stayed secure on my handlebar. You can swivel around the thumb ringer position so that it is in a good location for how your hands rest. Not much else to say, it does the job as expected.
