At 136.2 Decibels
It may not be the horn for weight weenies, but if you’re looking for something loud, then Yannick Reed may have the answer. He recently scored the Guinness World Record for the loudest bike horn, at 136.2 decibels.
The London cyclist realized that his usual bike horn was going unheard by truck drivers, and with 100 miles of commuting and riding per week, that was a dangerous problem. So, he created the Hornster, which, to put into perspective, is roughly as loud as a 200-person marching band, and just below the point where ear protection should be required. It’s unlikely to make it to market anytime soon, but if it does… well, cars won’t be able to ignore any cyclist honking!
The name is familiar. Anyone else come across him, or the horn?
