I don't think they're much use at all, and I wrote as much on my blog at http://ego.istic.org/articles/Bike%20bells.markdown I must say, I have completely the opposite opinion of bells.

This has more to do with apperances rather than considering their practical value. If I rode more frequently through a crowded area I can see that I would need to get a bell. I do most of my cycling with my wife and when to do occassionally encounter pedestrians our general approach is to talk to each other loudly, or cough, as we are approaching them. It seems to have the desired effect without being rude.
