Okay, put that soda confusion down as just lots of regional variety then. That explains why it's hard to understand :D
Wait, you don't have to have bells on your bikes? :o

I think the last time I had a bell on a bike was when I was maybe five
Bikes aren't super useful in most if the States, cuz distance. To get anywhere in a timely fashion, outside cities, you need a car

Well, I use my bike to get around inside the city... And we are required by law to have a bell on it if we want to ride it on public ground.

I am super excited for the Avengers movie! Cannot wait either, Nan!
I never use my bell on my bike, but indeed we are forced to have one by law.
I think I've been using "soft drink" so far. All that stuff is good to know though!

It's confusing for lots of people here too. Don't feel bad. lol.
Yeah, bikes are usually mostly for children and people in the city. If you want a bell then you can buy one. I don't think it'll do much good for most people though, since most people will be in cars and stuff and they won't be able to hear it ring.
I feel like a very large population of people don't live in the cities. Our towns are spread very far apart.
I'm excited too! I'm excited and nervous. lol. The last one was such a heart breaker.
Lots of places the lemonade is carbonated, apparently. lol.

I don't have a bike, but I use the city bikes sometimes. I try to always use the bell, because I personally hate when a bike rushes next to me from behind, my heart jumps out of my chest then. So I use it when I'm biking behind someone, so they can move from the way and not get stressed when I go by.
For biking on the road it might not be very useful but when you're biking in the city where people walk or when you go to the forest or any park etc., the bell is very very useful.

Oh yeah. We have city bikes now too. I think that you can only use them in the city though. Or you'll get in trouble/have to pay a fine.
In our city if you are on a bike you have to drive on the road. You're not allowed on the sidewalks.

We have special bike "roads" here, but they're mostly on sidewalks.
With our city bikes, you pay for the time you're using the bike. So the first 20 minutes is free, then its' 1PLN, next hour is 2PLN and so on. So it's really great actually. the worst thing is that people really ruin the bikes and sometimes it's hard to get one that isn't broken one way or another -.-

-waves- australia's lemonade is different to the US.
I guess it's closest is sprite? (does sprite have more than one flavour?)
that said we have lemon squash which you can get in various forms and then there's the home made versions which is probably America's lemonade..
