trail bells(merged)

anyone read the september issue of decline magazine

it has an article about how the santa barbara trails are now giving out bells for riders so that hikers and horses dont get scared on the trails by us

it think thats a pretty good idea now less ppl hate us blazing by them on the trails

wut u guys think

 

as posted elsewhere

 

My chain slapping on my chainstay, horses hear me coming a mile away.:bang: :lol:

 

Im going to install one of those car horn automation machines where you can program in any tune you want. Then I can make it bark like a dog, meow like a cat or sing the Ice Cream Man tune as I am bombing down the trail.

 

how about a swarm od bees - dat would git em moving

 

K3 Airchime

Nathan $999.95

Just put one of these train horns on your handlebars hikers and horses will here you coming

 

$1K - sweet more than my bikes worth

 

ice cream man would definitely be a choice sound

 

yeah jsut thot id throw it out there

 

bad idea. you'll have the kids chasing after you to buy ice cream!

 

Now the hikers and equestrians can get pissed at us before they even see us.

 

I dont recall what mag I saw this in but I read about it a few months ago and thought "I wonder how many bells get used but not returned!"

 

You'd have to program that sucka to play the Duke's of Hazzard horn tune when you hit a big jump! :lol:

 

Calepic's flux makes rattle snake mateing calls when he comes down the trail.

 

This has been going on over 3 years and the bells were always available until recently. I was talking to a friend of mine that lives up there and some people are trying to make the bell system not work by stealing the bells almost as soon as they put them back, some person or people come along and take them.

 

I bet you it was Santa Claus that took all them bells.

 

hahahaha

 

eat beans and fart down tha hiller.

 

I got a bell for El Moro since ppl are everywhere. I just don't like using it unless I need to. It's just a little dweeby feeling.:wave:

 

I think the squeal of my brakes is fair enough warning.
