Rechargable deafening horn

For a dog repeller on bike rides I've had great success using an air horn. They are REALLY loud, dogs back off, and owners often respond by calling their dogs. The one I got is by EcoBlast. It is rechargeable using a bike pump, so I pump mine up whenever I do my tires.

There are two versions. One is a single unit like the photo above, which is also handy for boating and sports games. The other has the horn and trigger separated from the plastic bottle air container via a long plastic tube so that the trigger can sit on your bike handle bars without the clutter of the bottle. However I use the single unit version. It is very light and can sit on my handlebar bag, at the ready.

Now what this gadget --especially the larger one-- needs is a one digit combination lock alarm circuit. If someone starts to move the bike the horn goes off. It would probably alert the owner and deter the thief. It won't work in all situations, but for the sort of episode where one parks in front of a store and runs in for a moment, only to return to find one's bike has gone missing it might help

EcoBlast take note!
