Yes. That is why it's annoying.
I thought bells and horns were for kids, and maybe women in flowy dresses and floppy hats riding in slow motion on beach cruisers equipped with woven baskets on the handlebars with faux flowers attached.
For the record I've always wanted to be one of those women.
But I can see why someone who actually commutes on a bike would be annoyed by it...and why a man who commutes on a bike would seem ridiculous making the cha-ching, cha-ching or cutesy honk honk of a bulb horn.
