@rasterweb Get one of these. I guarantee they will hear you.
I used to use one during my bicycle commute and was pleasantly surprised when drivers would yield after a blast or two.
Many substitutes available. Just search for electric handheld horn

While it sucks to be injured, the problem was not exercising caution while overtaking.
Why we can't have nice bike trails?
Thanks to a coalition of Labor, Big Gravel, Railroads, and the Marine Business Coalition, a judge ruled last week that the Burke Gilman missing link couldn’t skip a long, expensive environmental review. We’ll be biking on poorly-marked sidewalks for the foreseeable future.
Advocates should have anticipated the need to comply with SEPA
Remember, this is just a delay, not cancellation of the Missing Link.

With Seattle on path to miss 2030 goal, CM Saka calls for an audit of the Vision Zero program
Coming from Saka, this request smacks of an attempt to further derail the city's Vision Zero effort. I hope I'm wrong.

WA may be getting new highways — for bicyclists
While Washington State has been struggling to fund most of its major transportation projects, the chair of the state Senate Transportation Committee says financing a statewide bikeway system is cheap enough to pull off. The project would connect our existing major bike paths across the state—the Burke-Gilman, Palouse to Cascades, Eastrail, and Spokane’s Centennial—for less than $50 million over two years. It’s orders of magnitude cheaper than car infrastructure AND better for our environment.

A6: Until I started driving to my current job 5 years ago, 28 miles one way, I commuted, averaging ~5000 miles/year, averaging about 14mph loaded.
I took a couple year break during the height of the ongoing Covid19 pandemic. Now I'm down to maybe 200 miles/year and my knees complain, but I have all the gear for cold & wet weather and am cycling short rides around the north end of Lake WA, Seattle.
I think what I, and your friend really need is to connect with a cycling club, team, group, or a couple people who can do regular miles to build back up, and lose some weight. Please DM Seattle area suggestions.
