We recently extensively tested the Airtag Bicycle Bell for racing bicycles.

The Airtag fit perfectly in the holder and remained well protected and functional during all rides.

In many countries, including the Netherlands, it is legally required to have a bicycle bell on your bicycle. The bell must function properly and be clearly audible to other road users. This rule was introduced 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 specified, but in general the bicycle bell is mounted on the left side of the handlebar. 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 promotes control and safety while cycling.
Many cyclists choose not to mount a bell on their bicycle, mainly because of the culture and the desire to save weight on their light racing bikes. Cycling often takes place on less busy roads or specific cycle paths where there is less traffic interaction with pedestrians, so the need for a bell is less felt. However, in some countries it is even mandatory for cyclists to have a bell on their bike, regardless of where they cycle.
