That's the least worst looking bell I've seen. Nice one. But as someone said before, why does this need crowdfunding? Haven't Knog made enough to fund their own projects yet?
New rules for cyclists in NSW - Safe passing distances, but massive fines as well....

R&D outsourcing, should be cheaper than the retail version and if it's not you have pride to say you helped make it happen. Hipsters heaven that would be.

And why??? Why mother fucker??? Why do you put those stupid zip ties on your helmet???
I already have a plan...
Can I wear this around my neck Flava Flavour style? Or does it definitely need to be attached to my bike?
Sound emitting device
Here in WA the law states you must have a sound emitting device attached to the bike.
Now I can yell loud enough that a stupid driver that almost ran me over can hear me.
And as my slow fall with the bike because I couldn't unclip the other day can attest, I am firmly attached to the bike.
So do I count?

Why wouldn't you crowdfund? it shifts all the financial risk to the "crowd" and lets you scope demand before putting a single product on the shelves.
The only negative is that its adds a delay to normal product development.

It seems to undermine the concept of crowd funding...not suggesting it is a good/bad decision for the business, but that people would be stupid to support such an endeavour. Or so I figure.
Do I need to carry ID or not? Someone in here suggested not. I don't, and am sure it is only a matter of time before it all gets put to the test. And when it does I'd rather not be fined.

There is supposed to be a 12 month grace period, but yes you need to carry ID.
Actually, it's confusing. The Government's intention was to have the ID portion of the law come into effect in 2017 (March, I think). But the laws to effect that haven't been passed yet, so at this stage nothing is certain.
So technically, right now - no.

Yeah I read it in some Gov rubbish that there is a 12month grace period, maybe it was a vid, either way it was a Gov release.

Just reading today's Sydney morning herald. They ran a detailed article on the new rules. At this point no law has been introduced or passed regarding ID. The authorities are promoting it as a way for people to get used to such a rule in the future. Currently intended to be next march.

Well guys. As I've been told this an MTB site. But these Laws are for all who venture onto the road at all.
Today I took the MTB (which is all I would ride) for a 100km ride to Nattai Lookout and back and all was good until 80kms.
I was back in Camden at the lights that come out of the Woolies car park. I was there already and a 4wd pulled up right next to my handle bars, 6" near.
What do I do jump the lights and pay $428 or jump onto the footpath and pay $319. I roll off as I should with the Green (I was first to the lights), the 4wd just misses me I think okay then the Horse Float that he is towing and is 1ft wider on each side of the 4wd starts to drag me under, threw my right arm out to push myself up which then threw me into the gutter and back in front the following traffic. Luckily they were aware of what had happened.
My point is I'm old and have ridden on the road bush whatever for 56 years and never hit by a car, and just 6 days in and I'm taken out.
The real problem here is I would never have put myself in that position one week ago. I would have ridden the path and NOT have a fatal with a Pedestrian or I would have rolled of at the lights and been clear.
I know what I'll be doing from now on.
Duncan Gay (The Minister for Bicycle Bells) you are a dismal failure.
I had ID, I had a bell, I had a Helmet, You have imposed at least 2 new laws on me, that nearly got me killed. You are a fool.
Sorry about the rave guys, but I'm glad to be alive.
I think I'll just build more trails.

Crap. Did you get the details of the horse float? Did you report this to the police?
If you get hit by a car/trailer at least you know they failed to adhere to the new minimum distance laws.

Unfortunately no details. I was trying to stay out of the way of following traffic. I did report it to Narellan Police but no details beats me. I had a camera in my pocket for 70kms and had just put it in my backpack. Probably wouldn't have been composed enough anyway. 3kms later I was on a shared/cycleway and rang the bell 30m out and a guy turned around and took a swing. I've had a great day. The alternative is worse though. Back to the trails for me.

Fuck me! That is a close call. And Mr fisticuffs as well. Too many dickheads on the loose.

All I could say is that if I was a following car all fury would have been brought down on the trailer arse-clown. You can be sure I would have chased him down.
People don't generally look out for other people any more.
