fietsbel
A fietsbel is a small audible signaling device mounted on a bicycle, used to warn pedestrians, other cyclists, and motorists of the rider’s presence or approach. The most common form is a mechanical bell consisting of a metal bell, a clapper inside, and a thumb-operated lever or button that, when pressed, makes the clapper strike the bell and produce a ringing sound. The typical sound is a brief ding or ding-dong that is easily heard in urban environments.
