Try and ignore THIS! Inventor creates £5,000 bicycle horn that's 178 decibels - louder than a Concorde taking off

It's a rather extreme solution to road safety - but an inventor has come up with a bicycle horn that should be IMPOSSIBLE for drivers to ignore.

It runs off a scuba diving air cylinder - and emits 178 decibels, the same as a Concorde jet taking off. 


Keen cyclist Yannick Read, 41, designed The Hornster after repeatedly getting cut-up by car and lorry drivers.
 
He carried out extensive modifications to a Dutch town bike, fitting an 'Airchime KH3A' triple air horn taken from an American locomotive.

The horn runs off a scuba diving air cylinder and emits a staggering 178 decibels.

An F14 fighter jet, in comparison, is 130db while the deafening roar of concorde landing is a mere 119db.               More
