In many countries, including the Netherlands, it's legally required to have a bicycle bell on your bike. The bell must function properly and be clearly audible to other road users. This rule was established to increase road safety, allowing cyclists to effectively warn pedestrians and other cyclists of their approach.
The placement of the bicycle bell isn't legally mandated, but it's generally mounted on the left side of the handlebars. This is because most people are right-handed; by placing the bell on the left, they can operate it while steering with their right hand. This promotes control and safety while cycling.
Many cyclists choose not to mount a bell on their bikes, primarily due to cultural reasons and the desire to reduce weight on their lightweight racing bikes. Cycling often takes place on less busy roads or dedicated bike paths where there's less traffic and pedestrian interaction, making the need for a bell less felt. However, in some countries, it's even mandatory for cyclists to have a bell on their bikes, regardless of where they ride.
