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.

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.

#BEING FUCKING HEARD

you don't need the latter to stay alive.

There are few things I hate more than unnecessarily loud bikes. I could care less what the justification might be. Most people hate this shit, and nobody is impressed.
