There isn’t a lot of room on a Brompton M handlebars for an Air Zound – I’ve had to remove my bell altogether to make space. “They think I’m the jerk for following the rules.”“Stepping off the curb looking into your phone is just insane in New York,” Eugene D. says. To that end, I recently armed myself with an AirZound.I use my bell a fair bit to alert pedestrians and stationary drivers to my presence. Would you use one?
