    23oz...if I rode a lot in an urban area I would get one, no question. There have been times even in my rural community where it would have been useful.

    Oh, I've never seen those air horns! Thanks for the link, I ordered one. Has to be way more effective than screeching, "Hey, Hey, Hey!" when someone nearly kills me (at least 3-4 times a ride)
