    Believe or not, an old duck who pulled out on me while I was on a bloody patrol bike of all things, said that she didn't have to give way to bikes.

    Her education was completed quite quickly and at a cost.

    On a related note - can you get air horns for bikes - you know the REALLY LOUD ONES

    Like the fire engines have..

    Air horns can be fitted to bikes so long as they have enough electric power to run the compressor (which rules out a lot of bikes ). I have them on the Beammer, but I am disappointed with the volume though. They're loud, but so far I haven't caused a single avalanche. Finding places to mount everything can be a pain on bikes. And you *must* run them through a separate relay or you'll almost certainly burn out your handle bar button

    I dont know - I kinda like that one. It fun checking them out each morning to see if there is a new set of tire tracks. Sometimes you even get to see the odd car glued to the tree still.

    For some people, turning or stopping is too hard.

    If it'd been me on the bike, part of her cost would've been a sojourn in hospital getting her ear drums repaired - and a new car.
    Motorbike Camping for the win!

    Only if it's hard
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
