Portland Design Works Alexander Graham Bell

Nice sounding bell. Alerts hikers ahead without being alarming or annoying.
Simple design and well made. Looks good as well.;

This bell is very melodius its ring can be heard a long way down the bike trail. I enjoy using this bell small enough to fit on my handlebars and it sounds great!;

After 6000+ commuting miles this bell still works great. I was going through other bells every six months but this thing still looks new despite being out in the snow and rain. High quality.;

Great sound and bug it’s also a pleasant type ring.
This one you need to remove the handle bars;

Entertaining name great bell sound that carries well smaller than most bells attractive and really well made.

Bear with me here: the tab you press down and release to ring the bell is parallel to the ground when the bell is properly stem mounted. To have it easy to use to press down and release that tab the bell must be on the right side of the handlebar post. A left-handed person would have to reach farther over and cock their wrist awkwardly to use the bell. If on the other hand you install it on the left that tab is either sticking out in front of the bell you have to reach farther forward and your hand gets in the way of the tab or the bell and tab would be upside down. Alternatively you could install it upside down with the tab properly pointing back toward the rider but underneath the bell. It would then be awkward to pull the tab upwards and allow the snap or motion needed to create a full sound. Lefties who are stable riders coordinated and somewhat long of arm may adapt comfortably nevertheless.

Portland needs to either produce two models arrange for the bell to swivel on its mount before installation or warn the buyer in advance.

It was disappointing to give this unusual beautifully made gift only to see the recipient a lefty immediately recognize the problem.;
