I used to think horn use was rude, but after seeing its use in other countries (including trucks that declare "Honk!" on the back) I now use it fairly regularly. I have deliberately not replaced it with a Nautilus because I want to use the "beep!" as a friendly reminder, not scare the heck out of someone and make them look for a freight train bearing down on them, when I want them to look for a small vehicle saying "hi!"
Well thats cool and all but noone is going to hear that stock bicycle horn on a highway at 75mph. Some guy was slowly coming into my lane the other day on the highway, 2 quick blasts of the stebel made him aware i was there and he drifted back into his lane and gave me the proverbial "my bad" wave.
Just that incident alone was worth the money and hours i put into it.
