If you had any idea of the number of those pingy bike bell things along with wheel reflectors that get chucked away each year, you'd probably be horrified.

Every bike box comes with a pack of them, every bike shop probably has a bin full of them out back.

Around here there are a lot of pavements designated to be shared with pushbikes. I find pedestrians hear a bell and think 'ooh that's a bike that is' and consider letting you by. Whereas saying 'excuse me please' or something similar does not have any effect.
Sorry for the drift.

Agreed, a bell is a real benefit on shared paths (which most of my cycling is these days) Wouldn't be without one.
