kuechi Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 What do you use to let the pedestrians know that you are passing by. Do you use a horn? or a bell? THanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WARPed1701D Posted May 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2018 Voice. "May I pass on your left please!". Weighs nothing...costs nothing...and informational so that in most cases people step to the right (although the muppets out there have been known to step left into your path). Most people thank me for warning them as I pass (too many joggers and cyclists just blow past slower traffic with no warning and little noise causing them to get a scare). Some however, in their own oblivious earbud music filled world, jump out their skins anyway but that is their problem for not being aware of their surroundings. I never pass if there is insufficient room. I just shout louder. 6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ipsiain Posted May 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2018 I just slow right down to their pace and creep up behind them. 9/10 they will notice my presence and move aside. But if they don’t i’ll just wait behind untill space to pass. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2018 Yell out loudly "AhhhhhhhHHHhhHH LOOK OUT!!!! OUTTA DA WAY!!!!" while waving your hands all around and weaving randomly. (Doing it on one leg works even better!) I find that people jump clear real fast when you do that. 9 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ipsiain Posted May 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2018 Or just ride at full speed as you are approaching so your euc will be giving out the warning beeps letting everyone know where you are 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichieV Posted May 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2018 I like to use a golf club, let's say a seven iron, to whack them on the head as I approach. It must be more than just a light tap; you have to let the lowly pedestrians know who's boss around here. A full-on bash to the head can result in a bloody mess that you have to clean off your club, so you might want to avoid that. Optionally, you can duct tape a dildo to the end of the club to add to their ignominy. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Cranking some tunes helps too. I had Van Halen's "Jump" rocking on my Tronsmart speaker, and it turned heads pretty well. Someone even said "That's one sweet ride" as I rolled by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, the latest WheelLog that @MacPara has been working on now allows you to sound the Gotway beeper by pressing the middle button on the Pebble watch. I suggested this feature and he amazingly whipped it out within a couple of days. It works great! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuechi Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 I actually have a pebble watch. How do I do that? Is there an app for the pebble watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacPara Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 You need Wheellog on an Android phone and a paired Pebble watch for which you download the Wheellog companion app (from the Pebble App store). The Wheellog in the Google Play Store is too outdated to support the Pebble watch. You should use the latest version that has the beep by Pebble fix in it. which is V2.0.6a. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RayRay Posted May 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) I've been thinking of getting a bike horn and mounting it to my elbow pad. Something like this perhaps... ('Intimidating' Skull Horn!) ☠️ However, I prefer this usb rechargeable version better. (Less intimidating? More versatile...) ?
