The Sounds of Bikes
Anyone else love the sounds a bike makes? I really like when I find myself on a quiet road with no traffic and I can hear the sounds of the wheels on the pavement or when I ride by solid objects can hear the hub whirring as it bounces off a large solid object.
I know this is a simple question but what makes some of the newer road bikes have such a loud noise coming from the rear hub and is there any way to get this on an older vintage ride? I do really like that sound.
Any other sounds you like (or dis like) on your vintage ride?
I just recently picked up a brass bell for one of my bikes and what a sound that makes!
