the other day near waterloo a girl on a bike in front switched lanes and turned right and nearly took me out - she never looked and didn't hear my bell or shout
So she was stupid - how would that have been different if she'd not had headphones on? I assume you rang your bell as she cut you up, ie too late to do anything. Or do you ring your bell in advance of overtaking every cyclist? I'd be a liability as I'd never have 2 hands on the bars.
Music at such a volume you can't hear sirens is pretty daft, but I certainly can't hear other cyclists even without headphones.
Hi Njee
Don't think she was stupid, just unaware... adding headphones just makes this worse.
Because I sensed she was going to do the move I shouted.. If she had heard me she might have not continued with the move.
I understand you point, and assume you do as well as you mentioned that you do not use headphones when riding into london.
as for the blues and twos, same as people with loud car stereo or headphones not hearing blues and twos are just as bad.
+ Cav says not to so it must be true
