I've been thinking about getting an air horn to announce my presence at blind corner or in other potentially dangerous spots (i.e., wake up IPOD wearers. LOL). I wonder if an air horn would discourage a chasing dog?

Anyone know where I could get an airhorn that I could mount to my handlebar? I know there's one made specifically for bikes.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

My neice was hit by a deer last month during her evening bike ride. She was with her local club but was on her own when it happened. Luckily, she was not injured. Do you think a device like this would work with other animals?

See my post above re. air horns. Google for Air Zound to find a source. Works great - except if the dog is deaf!

My husband also uses an AirZound on his commute where there are tons of dogs. It stops them in their tracks! It's extremely loud, so you kind of need to prepare yourself before sounding it!

And do not hit the button in a closed garage while your spouse is nearby.

btchance - I'm glad to hear that your friend is doing well.

hmmm if his commute is very early in the morning then it might encourage some of those folks (and their neighbors to insist on it too) to tie up the dogs..... 5:30 am air horn blasts.......

Ha! We'd thought of that...but most of his commute is through farmlands and my guess is that they are all up and working long before he comes by at 6 am.
