I tooted on my police/sports whistle from 300 yards away. Since a higher frequency sound like a good whistle carries further and faster, she easily heard me with 150 yards to spare and got out of the bike lane. A potential collision easily avoided for 3.99.
Prayers of ahimsa to you all.
You haven't been reading your Pamphlets very well have you?
If you read the Mass Bike Pamphlet that outlines the state law you would have seen this:
You may not use a siren or whistle on your bike to warn pedestrians.
Figured I'd do a quick check of CT state law (as pertains to bikes):

By the way, this was the most entertaining thread I have read in months! Thank you for being a catalyst for such hilarity. Too bad so much of it was at your expense but you kind of asked for it...
