I used to think the same thing, but then I met my husband who rides, and now I do too. The way he explained it to me is that you need people to hear you, they may not always see you, you at least get a second chance to not get ran over if they can hear you.
There are few things I hate more than unnecessarily loud bikes. I could care less what the justification might be. Most people hate this shit, and nobody is impressed.
I listen to Harley Davidson, regardless of whether I’d like to or not.
And their owners make extra sure of it.
That’s not the gif I expected…
That is some 10/10 South Park. For those who don’t know, it’s called The F Word.
Just came up 45min ago too
Absolute classic outta Oakland California
Not mine.
That’s only in the mornin’
Name three songs!!!
Potato Potato, Where’s That Oil Coming From, In the Back of the Pickup Again
Those are my favorites. I’m also a fan of Why is the Battery Dead Again (I did something stupid remix) and Filtering at 80.
The classic Garage Queen (Live to Ride) brings a tear to my eye, and Shiny Side Up! is always a crowd favorite.
Well my favorite is tttrpprprprptprtprprtpTRTtPPpTTrTtRpPpPpPpPpPppPP
The Lou Reed cover of that is also a classic.
They all sound the same tbh

And he lied.
If “loud pipes save lives” was actually true, they’d point them forwards.
As someone who uses a HPV Bike for commute, a bit of noise definitely makes it easier to get others to give way.
there’s a difference between being heard and
#BEING FUCKING HEARD
you don’t need the latter to stay alive.
