I spotted these cool bicycle bells in Covent Garden. Love the funkyness of them. Pretty much essential when cycling in London to have a bicycle bell – the number of pedestrians that just walk out without looking is unreal.
Have any of you spotted any cool bicycle products while out on your travels?
You may also want to check out the post on hand painted bicycle bells which cost $23 but are also very cool!
These bells are funky and gorgeous. I am going to have to get one! Great to get some arty bicycle stuff.
Thanks for posting.
Hey Velochick, welcome to the site! Thanks ever so much for the comments! I do like little finds like this in London, I think its what keeps me coming back to places such as covent garden and camden market.
Yes, they are much better than those ‘Dutch’ types as I strained my hand as it was too high. These Octopus ones are great.
Hi Andreas – whereabouts in Covent Garden? in the market or a shop nearby? i think i might get one…
Sorry Lindy think there may be something playing up with my wordpress because comment appeared in the wrong place. In reply to your question I believe I found it in the main market bit in the centre of Covent Garden. It was on the bottom floor of a shop that sold lots of little cool gimmics.
If anyone is wondering the shop is called Octopus. It is at 15 The Market in Covent Garden and the bell costs £8.50. Thanks Denise!
Agree that those bells are great! Lots of cool bicycle bells and other accessories here too:- http://www.bonniebikes.com/safety-14-c.asp
Just come across this site and it may be of interest.
Since you are all cycling-savvy – and possibly a bit whimsical too given the interest in the cool bike bells – can you give me suggestions in Covent Garden regarding: spinning classes and where I can rent a road bike when in town? I will be coming to the area off and on for the next 11 months from Denver, Colorado for my position in financial services and my office is in Covent Garden. Also, any suggestions for yoga studios? Thanks.
