Two from Shadow:
The headline touts this as a "ridiculously loud" bike horn, but I'm not sure there is such a thing. It does have pipes. Piiiiiipes </cosby>.
The second is that a Texas state trooper has blown through a red light and hit a cyclist. When I was seriously street skating, we generally felt like the least safe drivers from a pedestrian/skater's point of view were Chattanooga city police, so I'm not entirely surprised. On the other hand, news is when things that aren't normal happen. Hope this guy is prosecuted for attempted manslaughter, but, ya know, same applies for lots of drivers.

The part where the trooper hit a cyclist may be news, but cops ignoring traffic laws is so routine it barely
deserves comment.

It's probably not good for my driving record, but I call 911 every time I see a cop
ignoring traffic laws and encourage everyone else to do the same.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
