Open post plookington @plookington@mastodon.sdf.org · 6mo ago Replying to @pete@masto.hypertelia.com So #BikeTooter seems very excited by this noise-cancelling headphone negating bell, but I don't get it. Pedestrians have priority. End of. They don't need to hear you. Many can't hear you even if they wanted to. Thinking that dinging a bell comes with an expectation of a clear run is no different to drivers honking a horn and expecting cyclists to get out the road. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #Cycling #BikeTooter @pete@masto.hypertelia.com On the shared path, pedestrians tend to take up the entire path, failing to consider faster traffic behind. They forfeit their "priority" when disregarding other path users.

It would be a shame if the offending car's door got mysteriously scratched.🤔
