Following up on my earlier grumble about a somewhat anti-cyclist letter in the February issue of Royalauto, a response printed in the March issue still misses the point.
The Aeolian Ride is coming to Melbourne on March 11th.
While turn-and-look events are common there is a very low likelihood (3%) that a pedestrian, on hearing a bicycle bell, will react in a manner that impedes the line of the bicycle and endanger themselves and/or the cyclist.
By commuting on the treadly my legs provide $1200 in cost savings per year.
What does a bicycle bell mean in Australia? It's a bit hard to tell, but it's certainly not the same thing that it means in Germany.

Because I was running late this morning I caught some Parks Vic rangers and a mystery man in a tie taking measurements on the Church St. Bridge ramp. A sign of progress perhaps?
