Anyway, I went to REI to get a 50-cent (not the rapper) clip for Chaco's sandals because he'd broken the original. How DOES he do it? I went in to get the clip and came out with the clip and the bling. See it?
It's sort of hard to see in this grainy, poor-backgrounded photo, but it's there all right. Anyone? Let's play I SPY!
I SPY Bella's new bike bling. More specifically, I SPY Bella's new ring-a-ding-ding bike bling.
Yeah, I got one of those nerdy bells. A bell for Bella.
Here's an enlargement:
See? Really, though, I'd been wanting to get one of these for a while. They are quite functional, and I was tired of coming up behind people on the paths and having to say, "ON YER LEFT!"
And, recently, I was the recipient of one of these dingle-lings. I must've been out walking the dog when I heard this cheerful little mechanical chirp. I turned around to see a large man on a burly bicycle headed right for us. That cheerful little mechanical chirp was so much nicer than an "ON YER LEFT!" or a "MOVE OVER!" or a "COMIN' THROUGH" or, worse, nothing, only to be startled silly when the large man on the burly bike went cruising on by.
So I wanted one too.
The big box store didn't have them, although they had two different models of those obnoxious ah-OOOO-gah horns. Seriously, who uses those?? Good old REI.
So I tried it out this afternoon. Beautiful sunny day, I was bound to come upon someone to dingle, right? No. No one. Not a soul. Party poopers. I did meet up with one woman out walking her dogs, but she was facing in my direction and pulled herself and the dogs over in plenty of time. I almost wanted to pull a U-ie and pass her from behind just so I could do my ring-a-ding-ding thing.
Well, I'll be patient and sleep, perchance to ding.

Awwwwwwww May you be able to ding before the urge leaves you.
Great bling! LOL
I'm gonna get a honker bling for my walker. I blinged it with jewels already that Rob says have to go if he's gonna walk next to me. LOL
I wanna honk till i'm horny! hehehe
I like the ah-ooga sounding horns but the ding-a-ling is quite fashionable and functional.
You really didn't want the ah-ooga one? Think how funny it would be to have people thinking a Model T was cruising up behind them!
I would like the ah-ooga too.
I am also glad your bike has a name. BS is a serious biker, and he names him--Bikey is his mountain bike (although, really, he is Bikey II); Trixie is his triathlon bike, and he named my bike Biketta. I only know that becuase I heard him tell Bikey one day not to touch her on the rack, as Biketta had cooties
