    My kids (4 and 6) both ride and have a habit of crashing. I’ve tried a few different cheap bells including some low profile ones and they all get smashed up within 1 or 2 rides.

    Any recommendations for bells that will survive impacts with the same resilience as brake and gear levers?

    hang them
    the bells; upside down, below the bars ?

    Can’t help, but surely the oddest thread title of the year.

    Get your kids a Cathro coaching session?
    😉

    We gave up with ours as bikes just kept being dropped, crashed and generally treated like a 6 year old was in charge of it…

    I don’t know but have you considered a career in writing click-bait headlines?

    The extra income would easily keep your kids in bells for the rest of their lives 🙂

    apologies for the click-baityness (now changed it seems). I hope you enjoyed it whilst it lasted 🙂

    are the knogs actually strong? I put a fake on one of their bikes and it lasted 1 ride – if its much stronger I don’t mind the extra outlay, but if its still going to get destroyed they’ll just have to be bell-less

    My son has a generic black ‘bike shop bell’. It gets dinged up (no pun intended) daily and still works. His twin sister has an Electro rainbow unicorn bell that still works as well.

    What about mounting a cheap one underneath the bars

    Decathlon’s basic bell is secured by a rubber band. Holds it tight but will shift the bell round in an off.

    What about no bell?
