>>1603053I have one of those. It hurts my ears when I use it, but pedestrians still either ignore it, hear it then look behind, see me coming and still choose to do nothing (because "oh it's only a bike they'll stop") or throw a complete hissy fit, make a huge deal of getting into the side (where they should be walking anyway) and yell "YOU'RE WELCOME" or other snarky shit because I dared to make my presence known. And I don't even ride on those "mixed use" paths, this is in rural bongistan on single track roads with a 60mph limit where you need to be hyper aware of your surroundings to not get killed.
Yes, technically you do have right of way as a pedestrian, Sharon, and yes, other traffic does technically have to yield to you even when you're walking in the middle of the road with your dog loose, your headphones on and your head in the clouds, but it's no use being in the right and in hospital. The problem is if anything happens, I'll get the book thrown at me and they won't even get a slap on the wrist.
These zombies scurry right into the side when a cage comes past. Why they don't do so for a bicycle (which can't actually stop as quickly, and can just as easily kill you) is beyond me.
Thought about getting pic related but it's neckbeard shit and it takes up a bottle mount.
