User questions & answers

Question: What is size
Answer: It is just a general size fits all bikes
Question: is the mounting bracket two pieces with have two screws or is it the type that wraps around the handle bars
Answer: The mounting bracket is two pieces that wrap around the handle bars with two screws. One of the pieces is already attached to the bell itself.
Question: Is the swich easy enough for a child to use? Want tt get it for my 5 year olds bike
Answer: Yes it is, is a nice bell, and easy to used for a child...has the classic sound.
Question: does this fit on 1 inch handle bars
Answer: Yes. The short answer. Long answer, the term 1 inch bars is elusive, I think what are called one inch bars are 1 inch at the stem, but 7/8 inch diameter on the rest of the bar, and that is what I have this bell mounted on, it is at the low limit, meaning it will accomodate a larger diameter easily, as the metal bracket is completely closed, with lots of room on the screws for a larger bar. Anything less than 7/8 inch might mean adding another layer of rubber or something to allow it to tighten, such as a child's tricycle or small bike, but it looks to me like the thing would fit any bars I have seen on a full size bike.

The Travel Book

A Journey Through Every Country in the World.

From Flavorwire:

'A journey through every country in the world' is the theme of this epic coffee table book and, indeed, it is. Get your red pen and Post-it notes prepared to spend hours flipping through photos and facts about every single country and region on the globe, from Barundi to Saint Lucia. It’s light-hearted and gorgeous, showing off the best of every nation. If you don’t salivate over this enormous wishlist, you might not have wanderlust after all.'

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

'It's Lonely Planet's ambitious, alphabetized tribute to more than 200 countries and their customs. A whopping 448 pages, this coffee table book provides two pages of info (and images) per country - regardless of size - and showcases destinations that don't always receive their fair share of ink and airtime. The succinct travel tips and smatterings of trivia allow the reader to quickly get the gist of a country.'

From Bookpage:

'This weighty tome provides photographic and textual coverage of every nation and commonwealth on the planet, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Each destination is covered in a colorful two-page spread featuring photos, both small and very large, which capture glimpses of local terrain and cityscapes, but which more keenly focus on indigenous people, flora and fauna, and cultural customs. The accompanying text efficiently whets the appetite of the prospective world traveler with once-over-lightly discussion of peak travel periods and things to do, incisive tidbits about the character of the country, an instructive phrase or two in the native language, and a small map delineating key areas and urban centers... Perhaps no less astonishing is the book's price tag, since this kind of pictorially opulent coffee-table item often costs twice as much.'
