What is the consensus on bicycle bells or cute little horns? A couple people on the sidewalk recently have said that I need a little bell to let them know when I am coming, because my bike is fairly silent (as it should be). I haven't gotten one because I feel weird, like I am honking at people. I only honk from my car when I am pissed or about to hit someone, so I feel rude honking at a pedestrian from my bike. They have just as much, if not more, right the use the sidewalk space as I do. So what do people think? Is it rude to toot a little horn as politely as possible to let people know I am coming so they don't get startled and I don't run them over? Or is it perfectly acceptable?

channel 2 newsI just saw the news story about the demonstration today.
Why can't Pano take 5 minutes to talk to the news crews? I really feel like he should defend himself in some way.
The news tried to show both sides of the story. However, there were 4 or 5 people in protest to the parking lot, and only one person in support of it. I don't know if the news channel really opposes the deomlition, or if there realyl just aren't that many people who want the house knocked down.
I tape the clip, but I don't know if I have the knowledge or the capabilities to put it up on here.
