I think this works even better than airzound on the peds.m2ts

Frog game ?

Airzound probably shock people and startles them into freezing, a friendly hello just grabs their attention into moving. If not it's still a rather nice way to draw peoples attention

Love that. Keep it up! - from CA

I swear at just after 0:20 someone shouts " f*cking pr*ck "?

But still, that's terrible the amount of people crossing without looking.

[MelloVEL0]

...Although it's probably needed on joggers who can't hear you call or your bell cos they are plugged in & hogging the shared path.

Darwinism in action :)

[n325aej]

fuck, get on the pavement. less people there! mad mad mad

[SkrzypczykBass]

Whilst i agree the voice is better in this instance I couldn't help but imagine how funny it would have been to Airzound the big group - although probably not such a good idea given the 2 OAP's :-)

[monkeysnutscom]

I have a very loud voice so there isnt any need for an airzound.

[ScottTheGent]

Seriously does ANYBODY look before they cross the road any more?!

[robojimpip]

@ScottTheGent Most people are zombies most of the time.

[Dashdecent]

You want a deeper tone of sarchasm in the "Thank you." :-)

[electrictactical]

I think it depends if you can see them listening on their headphones. If they do have headphones stuck in then even a yell might not be sufficient while an airzound is.

[robojimpip]

@electrictactical Very good point. IPods always get it max volume from me.

[WellingtonBikeCam01]

@electrictactical - I got stuck in Mt Vic Tunnel behind a zombie with her i-pod turned up to eleven. I blew the the airzound from 80PSI down to "pfft" and she had no idea there was a bike behind her, with blinking lights. She'll be completely deaf by the time she's 30, if she doesn't get killed under a bus, first.

[dronespace]

Good work, most of those pedestrians weren't looking were they were going.

[TheLabRatt]

Very good. Spread a little sunshine instead of deafness - I always find a pleasant hello from a stranger brightens my day a little bit.

[robojimpip]

@TheLabRatt Ye. That is one of the best bits about commuting by bike. You can strike up random conversations with other bikes, drivers, peds. No problem worrying about them thinking you are weird as that is already established from the stupid looking clothing, helmet, cameras etc.

[CyclingMikey]

Much nicer than an AirZound! I'm with MelloVEL0 - AirZounds are for the last resort.

[MelloVEL0]

Air Zounding Peds should be last resort. (Or on kids playing silly *uggers stepping out on you to impress their mates)

On large streets I usually ask peds to "Watch yourself" if they step out blindly. Although to be fair, we don't get those little adds on tv anyone about driving and the green cross code!! I can see why they want to add noise to electric cars!!
