Put it to use on the Brooklyn Bridge path if you are passing pedestrians or need them to clear out of the bike lane. A ding works much better than a shout and the good reputation of New Yorkers will be enhanced if your ringing bell is accompanied with a smile and "thank you". Moderate your speed on the down hill part of your trip - that will do the most to keep everyone safe and in good spirits. <BR/><BR/>If you're at the end of your patience, consider taking the nearby Manhattan Bridge north side bicycle path, pedestrians have their own path on the south side giving cyclists a less stressful trip over the East River (and some fresh new views too).
