Consider…
Where are you riding
Bike bells are important if you ride in environments where there are other users. Pedestrians, other cyclists and motorists. You need to use a bike bell to be heard to ensure safety for yourself and others on bike paths, shared paths, dual direction mountain bike trails, blind corners, the road and at times so motorists can here you. See Be heard with Bike Bells
What type of riding do you do
There are bike bells more suited to different types of riding. On a mounatin bike you do not want a bell that protrudes as it could get in the way and be easliy damaged so consider a sleek minimalist bell – the Knog Oi. The commuter, urban, bike path rider is more suited to traditional type of bells. Beep Bicycle bells
The age and skill of the rider
If the rider is young or a beginner consider if they can still control their steering to operate the bell. Can you position a traditional bell so they don’t become challenged with their steering. You can get bells with remote triggers that can be fitted right where their thumb is – so there steering doesn’t become compromised – the super fun Mini Hornet with its 25 sounds. See Bike Bells and Bike Lights for Kids
Will it fit your handlebar circunference.
Determine where you have room on your handlebars for a bell and where you can use it safely. Understand the circumference of the handlebars. Some bells come in different sizes like the Knog Oi and others like the Beep Bells are one size fits all
Quality.
There are varying quality of bells. Cheaper bells do not last very long and often have a poor ‘ring’ to them.

Hi is there any shops in christchurch that sell the mini hornet kids bell so i can look at them before i buy please
Hi Anaru,
we are not the distributors of this cool kids bell so we don’t have any idea which bike shops stock it. I would phone a few of the independently owned shops they may be able to help. This is a really popular seller for us and no one has ever been disappointed with it. Regards Annette
