nothing louder IME
This made a tractor stop for me once on a blind bend but it is far too loud to actually be practical as it will scare everyone who hears it
Charged with air from your pump
legal, i have no idea
Legal shmegal.
A whyte prst-1 got chained outside tesco and a drunken trolley had it way with it 😯
No - and a duff idea to have red light on the front of a bike.
I need something that will wanr people, but not terrify them!
There are a lot of old people about walking and I don't want to scare them, best to be on the safe side.
I've seen those air filled horns years ago, however something small and electrical will do fine.
Anyone got any idea's, I'm sick of shouting at people, especially on the Arthurs seat cycle way, and I broke my last bell by ringing it too much.
get yourself onto deal extreme - kit your bike out with police lights and sirens - job done....

I always find that a cheery;
"AAAAAAArrrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!! No brakes!!!! Move aside before we all die horribly in the resulting carnage!"
Works as well as a bell.
Ramblers still make a sour face at you and suggest a bell but you can't please everyone.
my mate has the air zound horn, first time he used it on a car the guy got out and tried to fight him!
Love the air zounds, used to ride with a chap who had one - worked a treat and when he fired it off cars would swerve away from him just as they do with car horns. Saved him on 2 occasions in the year I was riding with him but yes it did scare the living daylights out of old people and dogs.

That's exactly what you want. It obviously has the subconscious effect of making the association with a car or big vehicle and makes the move.

Exactly what you want!!
I don't know if it's street legal, but it'll certainly worry people when I'm out on the trails. At night.
Purchased.
Bells. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. 🙄
Bells are too quiet, people with mp3 players on don't hear them, you need something loud and with volume control 😉
I've been working on my tarzan call, however incase I have the cold or loose my voice I need plan B.
this is what you need:

I use to yell this coming into an intersection everyday which was after a hill and swamped with jay walker's the canarge and funky chicken dancing was awesome.
Pedestrians are mental, adults are worse these days, than children!
Plus kids are easier to beat up 😉
