Cyclists are so often painted as villains in interactions with pedestrians, and there are serious ramifications for reckless riding, but how often have you tried to do the right thing by letting walkers know you're approaching on shared-use paths, tracks and trails, by ringing your bike bell, only to find they're in another world, cut off from the one we share by noise cancelling headphones?
A solution to this issue could be at hand, in the shape of the Duobell, an innovative new bike bell, created by Škoda and a team of scientists at the University of Salford, which claims to be able to defeat active noise cancellation (ANC) technology and get through to even the most disconnected of dawdlers.
