Re: Bells horns, etc

I would yell "WIDE LOAD" but they would not know if I was referring to my trike 
or my rear end.

Subject:        [trikes] Bells horns, etc

Yesterday we were riding on the bike trail on our
tandem Greenspeed (wonderful!).  However, just yelling
"on your left" didn't seem adequate.  People move over
enough for an upright to get buy, but didn't pay
attention to how big we were.  I don't seem to have
this problem on my single trike, maybe because I can't
go near as fast as we can together on the tandem. 
Anyway I was thinking what I needed was a bell or horn
that gave people a sense of our size.  An airhorn
seems overkill on a bike path, anyone else have an
idea.  

Also our tandem breaks into two pieces for transport
(fits in my Element with no problem) but that means
releasing the front chain.  We haven't found a good
way to keep this chain "wrapped up" so it doesn't fall
all over and get everything dirty.  Before I start
trying to make something to keep this in place, I
thought I'd see if someone else had figured out a way.
