I had an asshole start coming over into my lane a few weeks ago. Keep 4 red flashing lights on the rear of my bike, even during the day.

Because of that, I bought an Airzound airhorn. 115 decibels, but there's a dial that can adjust the sound level. Small air bottle can be refilled via a Schrader valve on the airhorn.
