Most of my videos have music going on in them. That's the mp3 player on my handlebars. Most people hear that coming before I have to sound the horns. :)

Here's 5 women fixing a puncture...

Although, I do try to be ready for anything. :)

Do you ever get any comments in regards to your music? I've always quite fancied doing something similar, but people can be funny about noise pollution, especially in more rural locations.

Must say, you'd get a frown off me. Most folk walking in the countryside want to be listening to the birdies singing, not someone else's music! I spied someone running the London Marathon this morning with his earplugs in - moron, just imagine the atmosphere that he was missing.
Rant over, I'll crawl back in me' hole!

He'll be listening to the propaganda on mayoral or EU elections.

That is what I don't understand about the thread that you started, where you complain about the cyclist not sounding his bell as he passed from behind.


With that music blearing out, how do you know that he didn't?

Dont bother with a bell on my road bike, cos its almost always on the road.
My conversion hybrid spends a lot of time on cycle paths and canal sides, so has a ping bell fitted. People always hear it and its not so loud like a horn that would annoy pedestrians. In fact i think a bell is an extremely pleasant sound to tell pedestrians of your presence, its a completely non offensive sound.
As for fitting cat collar bells to your bike, so your constantly making a tinkling sound, is just about the most ridiculous suggestion i've heard.
