I'm not too worried about the mass of the bell, the aerodynamics though...
Speaking seriously, I do almost all of my riding out in the country and at speeds where a bell doesn't really help. I otherwise ride exclusively on the road (on my way to country roads). I suppose there could be some cases where a bell could be useful, but in those fringe cases, my voice works pretty well too.
I do keep lights in my saddlebag if I get caught out after dark.
