Of bicycle bells

In Australia, it is compulsory to have a bell or horn on a bike to warn other road users. This seems strange, because when cycling, hands are in use, but the mouth is not. So it would make sense to use the mouth to produce sounds, leaving the hands for steering. Perhaps a better law would require cyclists to be able to produce the bell or horn sound, giving them the choice of whether to use their mouth or a device for this.
