Custom bike horn

[[email protected]]

I ride a multi-use trail and was looking for a unique bike horn to
warn walkers, runners, other bikers, and the truly oblivious that I
wanted to pass. So I created a prototype horn with a digital recorder
chip to produce a unique sound.

This article, http://www.tuxcat.com/benjy/bikehorn.html, describes the
prototype. I hope to build a smaller version in the future.

Regards,
Benjy

I was hoping for a larger version, something in the locomotive category.

Something that'll make 'em soil themselves and freeze in place so I can pick a
line around them rather than guess which way they'll jump.

Try a Delta AirZound, loud enough to make blond bimbos in big SUVs
drop their cell phones. ;-)

Train horn.
Looks like it might be a little weighty.

Oh, you want a horn where the biker needs to wear hearing
protection ;-)
