Who's there?
Isabel.
Isabel who?
Is a bell necessary on a bicycle?
To test this we edited together all the times we used our bell on the way to work today. They are:
Van pulling out, overtaking a cyclist, overtaking a cyclist, jaywalkers, pedestrian in the road, pedestrian in the road, scooters and cyclists rubbernecking a cop giving a ticket, van reversing into traffic, pedestrian in the cycle lane, scooters trying to jump a red light, overtaking a cyclist, overtaking sporty kid on a bike who can't believe a forty-something white guy is going faster than him, scooters jumping a red light, two cars and a scooter turning into oncoming traffic, scooter coming out of the sun on the wrong side of the road, a wheelchair and two more jaywalkers.
Isabel necessary on a bicycle? She certainly is!
I even have a bicycle bell on my motorcycle, to give cyclists a freindly heads up when I'm passing them :)

A bell is neccessary when your riding in parks..but everywhere else I use a powerful airhorn which really moves people out of my way most of the time.
