Talking bicycle bell

The Verbal Bicycle Bell uses an unconventional method to alert other road users to your presence. It comprises a bicycle speaker which is capable of recording and playing back any message.

By default, it will announce "On your left," but if you choose to apply some imagination and tax your vocal chords a bit, then a touch of a button will proclaim your pre-programmed message. It can hold a 20-second sound recording. Featuring a built-in 44mm speaker that play messages at 80 decibels, you can always rely on the standard bicycle bell sound. Powered by a trio of LR44 batteries, the Verbal Bicycle Bell costs US$24.95.
