You are listening out for cars as you cross the road - suddenly, when the
pushbike is right on top of you, you get this pathetic little tinkle.
I murmur to the cyclist, 'Sorry, didn't see you.'
And then he or she RIDES AWAY SHAKING HIS OR HER HEAD.

Try looking.

You neck can swivel left to right.
That tinkling you hear is the legal equivalent of the cars horn, it says
I'm here. If you choose to ignore it, then you are lucky it was their
own head they were shaking.
