The fine for reckless riding in NSW is $425 & no bell or lights, $106. I know it was a long time ago but I don't recall ever seeing any road riders with bells on their bikes. Have times changed?
20 yrs ago you could ride without a helmet. These days it’s a fine of about $400. Over time society and laws change. Yep bells and lights are a requirement too.
