Love it

My favourite quote is by Anaïs Nin:
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to ones courage."

Thank you for all the support!

That's so scary.

Would it work to have an airhorn mounted on the handlebars and let it rip when necessary?

I'm seriously considering it.

In the meantime my own personal comes-with-the-model already installed airhorn is doing the best it can.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!"

"IDIOT!"

I find that when I hear a loud noise, driving or cycling or otherwise, I do not necessarily stop dead in my tracks.

A loud voice though would have more of a specific effect I think. Good for you lph for using yours at full capacity!!! It worked for me once (someone trying to right hook me while talking on the phone).

I *think* mine worked for me thisw morning... a big lab type critter came tearing out after me... I do have to change some of my habits because the specific words were not ones I want to say accidentally I'm afraid they were rather loud... next time around the loop 20 min. later I had my spray ready ... but he didn't show. COuld have been I was moving mroe slowly... or could have been an owner heard my expletives... anyway, I'm going to practice saying ... flocking? petulant? ...

I had a norwegian housemate and I always got a kick out of him swearing. Of course, I couldn't begin to describe what he said, but it had a lot of S sounds, and was fairly short.
