I as cyclists have to say that I cyclists who drive recklessly, as "hate" may as motorists do this. Likewise, there is on the other side motorists who hate those cyclists. This does not mean that you judge it on the whole. I also hate the percentage of motorists who take no account of the road and take a right of way. This need not be.
The difference to a car and a bicycle is very clear: human power and motor.
A cyclist (Example I) need enormous power to get to a high speed and would like this course, as far as holding and if a car takes away the right of way, which is not understandable for me.
I must, of course, slow down and speed up again, which power costs!
I can not even push up back on the accelerator's as simple as that ... is not like a car. For this, I also ask for consideration and understanding.
FIELD REPORT after six months in use
Good does not have to be expensive!
I bought the product because it is an alternative to approximately 40.00 EUR expensive "The Hornit" -Hupe (similar product). Clearly, this product (Cool Change) a replica of China.
After 6 months, I can agree with my previous speakers only. The horn is not as stated 120dB loud, but loud enough to make motorists aware of, even in traffic.
Between two tones, you can switch (red button on top). Tone 1 is a periodic chirping; Sound 2 is a monotone beep.
The chirping attracts my opinion better attention (so motorists a look alike). The chirping sounds to me but very playful and naïve, so I use clay. 2
A high frequency beep, which also attracts the attention of motorists on a.
Since I'm in a big city by bike, my priority is often taken (much traffic). Beep solves most motorists who I "honked" have made a reflexive brakes. A motorist has only bent (I had to slow down in front of it), and only then slowed down ...
Anyway ... the reflex falls differently from them.
The two inexpensive AAA batteries also held 6 months. I had to change recently. The battery housing must be opened with a (+) Phillips screwdriver.
Off bike in winter in freezing temperatures: It may happen by the cold (it is at least for me) that the horn is not working properly, that they are short sounds when pressing on the horn, as long you hold down.
I brought the horn to the house and a while "thaw", then it worked as usual. Since then I always mount the horn occasionally when not driving and take them with pure.
Splash: The product can be used without problems on the bike also wonderful when it rains. Splash protection = Top! So far I know nothing negative noticed by water. Neither the function nor the material.
The plastic is even at high temperature fluctuations still like new and has no cracks o. Ä. get.
All in all, a successful product, even if it is only an imitation, it seems to me the original (The Hornit).
I hope to have said everything, otherwise I answer possibly like to ask the product in use.
