Customized Bicycle Bell Tunes

MyBell Allows Cyclists to Modify Their Own Bike Bell Sounds

What makes MyBell special is it is louder -- up to 85 decibels -- has customizable sounds and is fitted with LED lights. The plastic shell isn't as fragile as it looks, as it is designed to withstand harsh outdoor weather conditions.
