I went for a ride on my pushbike...also passing our local lake full of ducks and other birds. Only a few hundred yards from my house. Cycle tracks all over the place here in York...complete with dumb pedestrians and their even dumber animals wandering all over them.

So, I also took the opportunity to buy a nice loud bell at the local bike shop, as I'd donated the other one to my son, who cycles a lot more than I do (to work and back every day). Job done.

I'd thought of buying a nice loud air horn, but then thought maybe not, as someone might give me a clump as I go past.
