I'm thinking about getting a Vuvuzela bike horn to alert myopic peds and drivers when they are about to run into me. It seems Hi-Viz just isn't enough.

    hehe happened to me and the missus on a pootle back from the local icecream parlour on saturday. The lads in the chav mobile were also crap at it, come to think of it I probably thought it was funnier than they did.

    I thought the shouting seemed appropriate for the "instrument" in question :twisted:

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    I've got one I was given during a work trip to SA.
    Shame I don't watch football. I might see how I can mount it to the town bike...

    All the better for being able to reach the mouthpiece to blow the damn thing. =) An Airzound might be easier though.

    Could have done with one this morning to clear the road of brain dead zombies crossing on the red man...

    Waited patiently at my red light, then make a left at the crossroads - people walking aimlessly across seemed most put out when I rode up to them stating rather loudly "That's the red man, guys..."

    On behalf of the whole of South Africa, I apologise unreservedly for the vuvuzela.

    The first vuvuzela that shows up at any football match I'm refereeing will be inserted up the arse of it's owner :evil:
