@quixoticgeek@social.v.st oh, that's what that noise is, I have been mildly curious (but not so curious as to try and find out). Is it because they don't want the extra weight of a bell (slightly sarcastically as I almost got ridden off a shared path by a group whilst on my run earlier - I had to stop dead next to a dog which was freaked out by the noise and redirected its emotions to me).

@fak@cupoftea.social well. In many countries (I.e. NL, DE) a working bell being installed on the bike, is a legal requirement. In the UK, bike bell must be fitted when sold, but there's no legal requirement that it stays fitted. The loud freehubs are just antisocial arseholes
