Horns - Zound Air?

[kjay]

Quillfred, I should have checked out the air horn you talked about before I wrote my message. I see that it's not what I have but a whole lot more effective. This is what I read:

A bike horn that won't be ignored. The Air Zound 2 from Delta is a handlebar mount rechargeable bike horn that will satisfy that urge to be loud and annoying. It offers 115 dB at the touch of a button with volume control. The air reservoir is rechargeable with any bicycle pump.

Sounds very interesting. Thanks for the info!

I have an Air Zound. I mounted it on my Bike Friday for riding after my dog accident where I fractured my pelvis in three places. It is loud and not very attractive (definitely increases the fred quotient exponentially! ), but it works well. I have used it a few times to deter dogs, and only one seemed to ignore it. He may have been deaf.

There is a volume control. If you are riding with others, warn them that you have it and if you can, before you use it, as it can be startling. I am sure someone in a car could hear it too, but I haven't had to use it for that yet.
