What a wet day this morning, not helped by some daft old codger leaning right out into the bike lane to pick up 10p he had spotted! Looks further away than it was, my pedals must have almost scalped him! I need a loud horn, going 'PING!' just doesn't cut the mustard.


Good news is the Haibike performed beautifully and the brakes were still very effective.

A friend of mine mounted a lorry airhorn on his bike for a laugh, but the death rate was so high, he felt a moral duty to remove it.

I have a horn on the trike - works great with phone zombies! None have died yet but they sure do jump high when scared!
