In many countries, including the Netherlands, it is a legal requirement 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, so that cyclists can effectively warn pedestrians and other cyclists of their approach.
The placement of the bicycle bell is not legally defined, but in general the bicycle bell is 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 the bell while steering with their right hand. This improves control and safety while cycling.
Many cyclists choose not to mount a bell on their bike, mainly due to culture and the desire to save weight on their lightweight racing bikes. Cycling often takes place on less busy roads or dedicated bike paths where there is less traffic interaction with pedestrians, making the need for a bell less felt. However, in some countries it is even mandatory for cyclists to have a bell on their bike, regardless of where they ride.
