Now I have an airzound, I have noticed how more relaxed I am when I am out.

I am no longer shouting at people and getting myself worked up, just a little burst on the zound and everything is okay.

I think from now on, I will have a much more enjoyable ride.

As long as I breathe, I attack.
Had an airzound and sold it.

Found the only time it was needed was to make a point after i had taken avoiding action and seems to me that doing this is just as bad as car drivers doing the same ,pointless and only makes the other party you are bleeping at to come away with a worse feeling towards the cyclist which as we all know is not what we are trying to get across.
Sure the airzound is a useful tool when used in the correct setting to make other drivers / pedestrians who are about to endanger themselves or you and a beep can make them aware of you .
 
Didn't last long, did it?

He didn't specify he was using it as an admonishment. He could be referring to the fact that a quick blast is making other road users aware of his presence and thus avoiding the situations where they place him in danger, resulting in him losing his cool and shouting!

I am reminded of a chat with my daughter many years ago when I told her I'd stopped driking coffee before she was born.

Me: Another benefit of giving up coffee is that I'm a lot jollier than I used to be.
Daughter: (Jaw on floor) Good grief! What were you like when you drank it?

These things are relative, as in my understanding of jolliness. On the basis of the OP's posted videos and threads to date, I suspect that the Airzound might be allowing a reduction to 'very worked up' from 'EXTREMELY WORKED UP'.

Just a guess. I'm not a psychologist or nuffink.

Approaching a dodgy situation I would rather have both hands on the hoods ready to steer or brake.You can allways swear at them, cheaper and doesnt require recharging^_^

I am really glad to hear this. I watch most of your videos and although I agree you are mostly in the right, i did think you were getting yourself worked up over the idiotic behaviour of others. If the AZ helps you de-stress, crack on. Remember we cycle for other reasons and not just as a means to an end that is the commute. Here's to happy, relaxed cycling....and getting your horn off ^_^
