It's an Airzound Airhorn. I've been using one for over 20 years. THey were originally plastic bottles, my newest is a metal cannister, but it looks like they may have gone back to plastic. The metal cannister works better below 25F.

BTW...the same thing happened to me the next day while I was driving.

Also, I guess I didn't explain that the brand of spoke-lights is "Monkey Lights" from Monkey Electric.

And now that I think about it, it would be great if Monkey Electric came out with a device that throws poop. Most bike days are uneventful, but every once in a while...

Lol wow I'm surprised they stopped. Good for you!

Do you think they saw you and tried to cut in front, or did they not see you?

Wondering what the effect of the horn was, to wake them, startle them, or embarrass* them?

*As in, "we were going to cut infront of you until being loudly called out about it".

that's a good question... Of course, I was prepared to stop, and would never allow myself to be in a position where they could just continue and run me over.
