Spurcycle makes precision engineered bicycle bells. Cheap they are not, but the nickel alloy bell creates a powerful, enduring sound. And they look great. We think of them as bicycle bling; a beautiful adornment for any set of handlebars.
Fabricated from stainless steel and brass components, Spurcycle claims it’s the only bell you will ever need.
Win a Spurcycle bicycle bell
The Spurcycle produces a ‘powerful sound from a trim, precision form. A bell for any bike: Modern road, mountain, or vintage townie.’ We have one to give away. Ping us a comment at the bottom of this page and we’ll pick one lucky winner next week.
The bicycle bell is a much under-valued accessory; although it is a legal requirement that bicycle start their lives with one fitted, the fashion is for them to be quickly removed. If you cycle on tracks and paths shared with others, they are a polite way of announcing your approach, especially if followed with a verbal greeting and request to pass.
Beyond bicycle bells
Frustrated and angered by the disproportionate danger posed to cyclists by lorries, here at the ETA we built the world’s loudest bicycle horn. Better still, we have a Guinness World Record to prove it. At close quarters ‘The Hornster‘ belts out 138 decibels.
The ethical choice
The ETA was established in 1990 as an ethical provider of green, reliable travel services. Over 30 years on, we continue to offer cycle insurance , breakdown cover and mobility scooter insurance while putting concern for the environment at the heart of all we do.
The Good Shopping Guide judges us to be the UK’s most ethical provider.

I’ve always favoured the approach of vocally politely alerting pedestrians to my presence, but after some feedback, they seem to think a bell would be preferable.
I’d love to give that theory a go with this beauty please.
Kevan
Would have preferred the horn set-up but will give the bell a chance if I’m lucky

Could this polite little bell end pedestrian shouts of bell end?
Matt V-C
Nooooice!! I’d love one! 🙂

If it gets through to the headphone wearing students on the canal towpath I’m in!!

I generally have to use my bell around twice a week, only yesterday I approached from behind, two people pushing wheelchairs side-by-side taking up the whole width of the road (with a parked cars opposite), had to use my bell to make them aware of my presence and slow down a lot while I waited for one of them to give me some room to pass (which they did begrudgingly!).
Would be great to have a louder bell to warn people sooner, as I’m never sure if mine is heard from afar.
John Cameron
The name of the bell , Spurcycle, has a certain ring to it !
Sheryl Anne Stokes
Another useful product – along with your Breakdown Insurance – which I have had for years, but never had to use.

Jonathan Hunt
I have somewhat of a Rolls Royce of the eCargo bike world – a Tern GSD. But strangely the bell is poor. This would solve that issue 🙂
Guy Brenchley
Shouting gets peoples’ attention & can convey the appropriate level of urgency, but everyone knows what to expect if they hear a bell.
Torun Bala
Are batteries supplied with it…?
Jennyve salvato
Me like it!!! 🙂 😁

Ellen
Any-ting you can do to help will ring-a-my bell!
Bill
A powerful ping….Just the thing. Ding-a-ling. (This sounds like it would be very handy on the canal towpaths around here and the busy London streets where people constantly step out into the road without looking first and seem oblivious to any form of traffic!)
Olly
Yes please!
Rachael
This would be perfect for my commute and having to warn people that they are in the cycle lane!

🎶 Ring my bell
Helen
Hello! My daughter would love this and given that some car drivers seem to show even less care when they see a child on a bike then this could be very useful…
Judith Rout
Bells always good and they have to compete with ear buds!
Martin Baker
I collected a new bike last week. It didn’t come with a bell. This would do very nicely! 🔔

John Darby
I live in Oxford where bikes, pedestrians and vehicles are in constant contact (not usually literally!) One of these would be great to make me better heard as I commute. Thank you in advance 😉
Raf
Elegant, beautiful and practical!
Chris
A bicycle bell’s pure note, not only alerts others of one’s approach, but it also informs those that hear it, the mode of transport. Bicycles bells are civilised, like bicycles.
Dr Vic
Hell’s bells
Philip Gregg
“Is a bell necessary on a bicycle”?
I think so. A sharp ping at 20m warns most pedestrians and dog owners that a bike is coming. If they fail to allow space then a polite word may also be necessary. Kids love pinging back too.
Lucy
Looks like a good ting
clarke
Please may I have that beautiful Spurcycle bell. regards, Clarke

Ding Dong , a famous comedy actor used to say, but I’m sure the bell sounds better.
James
Looks a great idea better than shouting!
Sara Garside

I love the idea of a precision engineered bicycle bell; so much thought given to what is typically such a mundane item.

This would complement my hornit very nicely
