Yes, that's an Air Horn you see taped to my handle bar. Not for everyday use, but if I think a situation needs a little added "I'm here, don't squish me" - I will blast it! Also useful for getting rid of farm dogs who like to chase me on rural rides! Obviously for rare occasions where being deafened is preferable to the alternative, lets hope I never have to use it!
AWESOME!!! One can NEVER be too safe,my friend (and I've been looking at horns online myself...a simple airhorn makes lots of volume vs expense sense to me),and yes...lets (hope for the never thing ;) )

Hey I got this one at the Dollar Store of all places! Maybe they have them in your neck of the woods? Cheers- L
DeleteAn air horn sounds like a good idea, I have been carrying a canister of mace in hopes of never using it. Wonder if they have rechargeable air horns you could pump up with a tire pump? =)
ReplyDeleteOne could get one of those refillable oil sprayers and fill it with hot pepper hahaha....not so sure that would work! I really hope I don't have to use it!
DeleteJohn, I hope you mean pepper spray, mace is dangerous and illegal in most states. When I used to carry pepper spray, I never needed to use it because the dogs always ran away when I aimed it at them. They must have been serial offenders.
ReplyDeleteJolly- they must have been! I hope my air horn gets the same response!
