The Air Zound is a must have for all city cyclists and commuters who ride on the road. The Air Zound packs a 120 decibel blast that can be heard from blocks away. It is clearly heard in a car, even if the stereo is going, and they will definitely know you are there. I also tend to use this horn on trails to let people know I'm coming and that I want to pass. It is very easy to install and doesn't have to be a permanent installation, the air bottle can even be stored in a water bottle cage. The kit comes with zip ties, and Velcro to securely attach the equipment to your bicycle. The horn simply clips onto the base, which can be tightened onto the handlebars with a screw and nut. To refill the bottle all you need is a bicycle pump. By flipping up the horn button it reveals a schrader valve to which you can fill the bottle up to the max of 80 psi. At 80 psi you can expect to deliver about 50 blasts from the horn, depending on the length of each blast (can lower volume which requires less air also). In conclusion, I would recommend this horn to anyone who rides on the road regularly. It is simple to install, taking only a few minutes, and is well worth the $20. This horn has helped me out many times, and it definitely has the potential to save lives.
