People around where we live mount Bluetooth speakers to their bicycle and ride around on nature trails sharing their music with everyone because who the hell goes out in nature to experience nature?
There’s a guy in my area that does that… He told me one day that it’s to help give people and animals a heads-up that he’s coming, which is helpful when overtaking people from behind, or around blind corners.
Sounded like an excuse at first, but it actually did help some of the time when I saw him after that. I have begrudgingly changed my mind about it.
He’s still being selfish, Cyclists and mountain bikers yield to hikers, runners, and equestrians, Hikers and runners yield to equestrians. Downhill users yield to uphill users.

I’m a cyclist and I’ve noticed an uptick in this shit lately. At least with a cyclist doing it they’re past you pretty quickly, I suppose.

I’ve got a bell on my handlebars for that.
