Air Horn Instead of a Bell

These bells you get with bikes as standard are a bit rubbish are they not...!
I mean not like those yellow horns you used to get as a kid with "FireEngine, Ambulance and Police sirens, PLUS a built in CB Type speaker"
So, if I fit an AIR HORN to my bike instead of a bell, do you think people will mind?

I saw a guy in brighton with one of these mounted to his handle bars....
It certainly cleared the cyclepath along the seafront, like nothing else i have seen before actually.http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtop ... t=12613038Cat With No Tail wrote:Anyway, fk dis, I iz off 4 a ride innit. l8rz peepz0 -
Makes no difference. Assume you are invisible and you won't go far wrong.Graeme_aberdeen wrote:So, if I fit an AIR HORN to my bike instead of a bell, do you think people will mind?0 -

Well, this one managed to clear a group of hi- vis wearing jobsworths out the way with reasonable ease, whether it works for everyone, i couldnt say!

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

My Pro II hubs cover the job pretty well.. I want a massive foghorn though0

Or what you want is a hub which the pawls in click loudly, that will clear clear people... My sun ringle lawwill seems to cut it, its good for warning walkers you are a couple of miles away and approaching at speed.0

what about this?

red and green should never be seen."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

...Except on a gypsy queen
I quite like red and green together though :oops:0 -

I will do when this one goes, Pete.0

One thing though, lime green and mint green really don't mix that well 0
-
the green doesn't look too different in the flesh, actually. kind of works. I know what you mean in that picture though
(oh, and can you guess I'm not a bike tart?)0 -
One of my mates owns those pedals and I have seen the lime green of the Marins, I really don't like both of them together.
I could grow to like them I suppose though. I really don't like the green of DMR's anyway so that probably doesn't help with my decision 0 -
nah, the DMR green really isn't the best. But it's a damn sight better than the crapy SPDs it's meant to come with.
I cannot part with those brakes though. They're just so..... GREEN!0 -
I love the green of those brakes, too bad I don't like the brakes themselves
Anyway, we've sidetracked a bit, lets get back on topic 0 -
