So #BikeTooter seems very excited by this noise-cancelling headphone negating bell, but I don't get it. Pedestrians have priority. End of. They don't need to hear you. Many can't hear you even if they wanted to. Thinking that dinging a bell comes with an expectation of a clear run is no different to drivers honking a horn and expecting cyclists to get out the road. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@pete yeah. The whole discussion seems to be “get out of my way”. There are points in there and the video shows crowds of less blocking dedicated bike lanes… but still. My bell is there for compliance with the law and rarely used. An “on your left” or “behind you” also cuts through noise cancelling algorithms because they (somewhat) let human voice ranges through
