Noisy freehub bodies. Guy in front of me tonight on a pair of Fulcrums or whatever, and each time he backed off his freehub sounded like a box of cicadas. A big fuck-off box of cicadas, in fact. How do people put up with that sodding noise?

Also better than a bell as a way of alerting other people to your presence.
Nothing is better than a bell. Humans instinctively seem to know what a bicycle bell is. All of my bikes I use in town have bells on now, seriously.
Yes, I’m old.
