    I know a few people that use Airzounds while riding in the city, and while I always thought it seemed a bit rude it certainly seems to get the attention of motorists!

    Around here, even bells on MUPs do nothing. I have to give the nicest “Passing on your left!” I can manage in order for people to even consider moving.

    I’m a bit interested in the Orp horn- it has two settings- Excuuuuuse You! and OHMYGODYOUALMOSTKILLEDME!! Plus it’s a light.
    I use my bell almost exclusively for pedestrians, and yell Oi! which is nice and percussive, and cannot be mistaken for anything obscene, or “Heads Up,” with a nice popped P at the end.

    Screeching brakes is the best thing I have ever tried. Everyone, even people in their cars, stop and pay attention. It’s awesome. I used to think I needed to get it fixed, but I totally changed my mind.

      I know! Brake squeal is a feature, not a problem. I found it very handy, but now I have new wheels and new brakes and nothing squeals anymore.

    I’ve been thinking a need a bell for the commute in Cambridge but maybe I need a really loud bell. Maybe a fog horn, like the portable one kayakers use.

    Following on cycler, I like Heads Up, which I use in all sorts of circumstances.

    Currently waiting on both the Loud Bicycle Horn and Orp Smart Horn (both Kickstarters) to make it into my hands. 🙂
