The 110dB Bicycle Horn That Makes Cars Stop and Listen

110dB is about as loud as a car horn or motorcycle — definitely attention-getting but not dangerous when used properly. The sound is directional (aimed forward, away from you), and most alerts are just quick 1-2 second blasts. It's designed to be heard by others, not overwhelm the rider. Always use responsibly and avoid prolonged activation near your ears.

Yes! The flexible silicone strap stretches to fit virtually any handlebar — road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes, BMX, cruisers, and kids' bikes. The strap accommodates handlebar diameters from about 0.5" to 1.5". If it doesn't fit your bike perfectly, our 30-day guarantee covers you.

Most riders get 3-6 months of normal use from a set of CR2032 batteries. Heavy users (delivery cyclists, daily commuters) might replace them every 2-3 months. The batteries are standard and inexpensive — available at any drugstore or convenience store.

Mode 1 is a polite "ding-ding" for gentle alerts (approaching pedestrians, trail courtesy). Mode 2 is a sharp electronic beep for getting attention (bike lanes, intersections). Mode 3 is an urgent blast for emergencies (cars cutting you off, immediate danger). Switch modes by holding the button for 3-5 seconds.

Absolutely. Cycle Chime is designed for all-weather cycling — rain, snow, mud, dust, and extreme temperatures. The silicone housing protects the electronics, and the sound quality doesn't degrade in wet conditions. Many customers ride year-round without issues.

Not at all. The soft silicone strap won't scratch or damage any handlebar finish. It's compact enough to coexist with lights, computers, phone mounts, and other accessories. The flexible design moves out of the way and doesn't interfere with shifting or braking.

The sound will become noticeably quieter or distorted when batteries are low. Some users notice a slight delay between button press and sound activation. Replace both CR2032 batteries at the same time for best performance. The device doesn't have a battery indicator, so keep spare batteries if you're a heavy user.

Yes, with supervision. Kids love the different sounds and it helps them alert adults when riding. Teach them to use brief blasts and avoid continuous honking. The button is easy for small hands to reach, and the volume helps ensure adults notice young riders who might otherwise be overlooked.

Most drivers appreciate clear audio signals — it's much better than sudden surprises or accidents. Use good judgment: polite alerts for normal situations, urgent sounds only when needed. The goal is communication, not aggression. Proper horn etiquette keeps everyone safer and happier.

Traditional bells top out around 80dB and get lost in traffic noise. Cycle Chime's 110dB electronic sound cuts through car radios, phone conversations, and engine noise. It's the difference between being politely ignored and being impossible to miss. Plus, you get three different tones for different situations.

The silicone strap grips extremely well — it's designed for vibration, bumps, and rough riding without loosening. However, like any bike accessory, it can be removed, so secure parking is smart. If it's stolen or damaged, our lifetime warranty option can help, and at this price point, replacement isn't financially devastating.

Cycle Chime is completely independent — it doesn't connect to your e-bike's battery or electronics. It runs on its own CR2032 batteries, so there's no compatibility issues or electrical interference. Perfect for e-bike riders who need audio presence since electric motors are nearly silent.
