    Droid is a legend. Making London road users more aware of the do's and dont's is more important than ever with more and more people frequenting the city and more cycling around it too.

    loud Bicycle I used to cycle to work now retired I had a rack on the back of the bike to which I attached a long piece of PVC tube sticking out on the right side and attached two rear led lights it gives the impression in the dark that the bike is further out in the road than it appears to be and cars give a wider berth. Good work with your safety program

    Traffic Droid has legendary status when it comes to road safety, standing up to bullies in motor vehicles, charitable nature and good manners. What a superb brand ambassador he would be to Loud Bicycle.

    I think it's brilliant what your doing, i had a woman pull out from a side road I went bang into the side of her car, i was on my motorbike i had no chance,
    i ended up breaking my ankle, leg(tib' & fib' )knee, wrist, arm and collarbone- plus cuts bruises and a wrecked bike.
    That was 28 years ago these days with so much traffic good drivers seem a rarity imo & im surprised there's not more deaths/injuries .
    So thanks for what your doing 👍 atb m8.

    The use of a loud horn on a bycicle is far better than a STUPID & TOTALLY USELESS!!! bell. I stopped using a bell on my bycicle many, many years ago & because over the years traffic has become worse & driver's & pedestrians take absolutely no notice of them. So, I have not 1 but, 2 horns 😁😉 on my bycicle & usually are to great effect. ( Over 100db each 😁 ). As are my powerful front lights & quite bright rear lights. ( Which help in not only me seeing were I'm going but, other's see me approaching from quite a distance away. The way I look at it now if you don't see or hear me then you are either STUPID ( MOST ARE) or visually impaired or hard of hearing not many a lot, lot less. ( fair enough).

    No one can argue with the traffic droid, the traffic droid is "The LAW", if you are red carded by the DROID, means you have failed miserably as a road user. Proud to be your friend, and many other around the globe, as you are a star.

      How many people have been seriously injured or died because some idiot drivers can't see or ignore people on bikes. Believe me, I know there are PLENTY of idiot bike riders out there, but this horn, used properly, can definitely save lives.
