Re: loud horn for a bike
I have an Airzound. It's currently on top of the wardrobe in the spare bits box for a very good reason.
It dawned on me some time ago that if I use one hand pushing the button to sound the horn, it was one hand less for doing braking with. It's worth thinking about. Are you more likely to survive blasting them with a hundred decibels of sound or braking to avoid them?
One of the blokes I ride with in our social group offered to buy mine as he didn't think his bell was loud enough for pedestrians to hear him coming. I'm refusing the sale as I know he's a danger with two hands let alone one!

Re: loud horn for a bike
i agree with the above
airzounds are ok as a warning but tends to be an after the fact event , so you turn it into just another road rage tool .

That might be the case if the every little to which you refer was in the driver’s mind...
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
