    I commute from West End to West 41st & Oak St every day by ebike and I swear it's getting more dangerous every day. I definitely need a horn for cars like what you have! What happened at 4:00 happens to me multiple times A DAY, it's insane.

      @@calicomorgan2408 too many drivers who aren’t looking for (and/or don’t care about) anything that’s not another car and it’s maddening. The horn is good but I haven’t yet figured out a way to set it up so it can be triggered without taking a hand off the handlebars, and the times I most want to use the horn are the times I most want both hands on the handlebars..

    I assumed this would be Guildford England. The painted cycle lane, is shit. Car drivers should give 1.5 meters of space when passing, with the painted line this just invites close passes. Why do North Americans buy these stupid trucks, in England any item in the flat bed is gift. Hmm power tools thank you very much. In Canada what do people transport in these flat beds trucks, snow?
    OMG turning right 5 seconds after over taking a bike, these people should not have a driving licence. I feel your pain.

      @@Nick-mu9nx yeah I’m aware of Guildford being used for other cities and neighbourhoods, and no misleading is intended! The exact location is early in the description but don’t want to clutter up the title and screen with too much detail.. maybe just adding Way for “Guildford Way” will help so will probably do that. The pickup trucks are often just a status symbol and are far too common, rarely if ever carrying anything in the bed. There are many examples of smaller trucks having beds that are the same size or bigger.
