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.

...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.

@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.

Darwinism in action :)
Seriously does ANYBODY look before they cross the road any more?!

@ScottTheGent Most people are zombies most of the time.

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.

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

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

@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.
