Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?
Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 2 weeks agoWell it would hardly be the cyclist fault if pedestrians and others don’t pay attention to their surroundings?
I don’t see that as a legitimate reason to be a noise complaint.

A noise complaint before 10pm? I’m more concerned with not harming people in the first place, than I am with placing blame. Have you ever been on a bike path, see a pedestrian, rung your bell. No response. Getting closer, start ringing bell more rapidly. Finally decide to call out, , “ on your left”. While slowing down to minimize consequences. Finally seeing a response from the pedestrian, as they turn and step to the left. As you notice the earbuds in their ears. That’s a common experience for me.
