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 ah it's more not scaring the shit out of people, even if you're passing responsibly with heaps of room on an explicitly shared trail sometimes people jump a mile and yeah maybe don't wear noise cancelling headphones if you're going to get spooked but ...

@nickzoic @pete This is being explicitly touted as a response to "more ped/bike collisions".
