nochknstrps Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 A few of us were joking about listening to music while we ride. If I remember correctly someone listens to Beethoven, cause it keeps them calm. So just for some new discussion do you listen to your Ipod or Mp3 player while you ride and what do you listen to?

wolfman Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I've tried it like once or twice but I found it too distracting. I usually add my own sound track in the form of singing or rapping though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I listen to the bike and the others around me.. headphones are not a good idea on a bike IMO.. At most I wear earplugs but they are the noise attenuation type so I still hear everything around me just at a lower decibal level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocrash Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I have speakers mounted inside my helmet that I sometimes plug my Ipod into. They don't sit right on top of your ears so you can still hear everything else that's going on around you. The sound quality isn't great but better than nothing for those long, not so aggressive rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I ride without about 90% of the time, but there are those long rides out alone on the road that I'll run with my ipod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I wear them occasionally, but keep the volume down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I've tried it, found ear phones are no good...Installing an amplifier and speakers on my bike along with an ipod holder, and auxilary input...i love listening to "danger zone" when i ride...but it tends to make me speed a bit...

natedogg624 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 saw a bike like that in person at the bos broz bike show at mid ohio. it was a different color and not so alien like, the speakers were a little more well placed.that think kicked like you are sitting next to a tricked out suburban at a stop light.

nochknstrps Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 what a waste. who ever designed that should be kicked in the jimmy! I switch between ear plugs and head phones, I was actually almost run over by and ambulance when I had my ear plugs in, luckily I was turning into my nieghborhood. Didn't even know they were behind me, maybe thats why the growler is for track use only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i only ride with my ipod if i am going to be alone and on a long ride, and that is even only on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I listen to mine when i am by myself, or riding spirited by myself, or long trips by myself. If you havent gotten the rythm (hehehehehehe) of my post yet is i wear them when i ride alone and when i ride with others i listen to their bikes and words if we are stopped.Here is but a taste of my riding mix: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I listen to the bike and the others around me.. headphones are not a good idea on a bike IMO.. At most I wear earplugs but they are the noise attenuation type so I still hear everything around me just at a lower decibal level. I think it's dangerous. That's just my opinion. Plus I don't want to hear music all the time. I only listen to music in my car. I don't own an ipod and never will probably. My wife has one. I want to get away from everything including music when I ride. I love the sound of high rpm's.Oh, I wear earplugs alot because that wind noise has major long-term side effects when you get older. I've witnessed it happen to many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Sometimes I do......Sometimes I don't. Generally has to be a longer ride, or I don't find it's worth messing with for me.Have a 40 gig Zen with about 2,500 songs on her, so I just put it on shuffle & listen to my own satellite station.......WFONZ!!

Blitzburgh Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I use my Sandisk Sansa 100% of the time along with a set of Sony MDR-EX90LP earbuds. If I ride alone then both earbuds are in. If I ride with someone else then I will only put 1 in so I can still hear them.100% Ramstein all the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 It must be hard to ride with a shotgun in your trenchcoat. You'll show those mean kids at school. yes you will.

NinjaNick Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I never heard of them, but I'm sure I might have heard them before. I'm into music like Mudvayne, slipknot, and all that genre. I listen to all music though, but I love most music that has instruments being played in them and not electronically made beats. I love music that gets me pumped up.

magley64 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 see i'm not as into that genre as other genres...deathmetal and screametal tend to annoy me more than get me pumped...like "hatebreed" just flat out sucks in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
