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.

That is some 10/10 South Park. For those who don’t know, it’s called The F Word.

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.
