Favorite music while bicycling
Hi Folks,
So, what music do people listen to while cycling? I was just listening to four Rossini overtures yesterday, William Tell, The Silken Ladder, The Thieving Magpie and The Barber of Seville and I thought I'd start this thread. I also like the last Dylan album and JJ Cale/Eric Clapton latest as well. Anybody else? |

I want to hear the cagers approaching from the rear, the birds, the dog that's going to run out and start chasing me, the surf, the beavers splashing in the pond as they try to dam the culvert and flood the road... Anyone cycling with headphones on is asking for trouble. |

I like to sing. Opera is good. =v= Yeah, except you can't stop until you find a fat lady and persuade her to join in. _Jym_ |

Anyone cycling with headphones on is asking for trouble. So much for the hope that the neo-Puritans would just leave this alone. I've ridden seriously for over thirty years, much of it while listening to music and I have never failed to hear danger approaching. Luckily, I still live in a country that's free enough where this has not been banned. |

Anyone cycling with headphones on is asking for trouble. I completely agree. I do "listen" but conversationally (one earphone only - an open style that allows traffic noise and not turned up beyond comprehension-quality audio) via ham radio. http://www.BMHA-Hams.org -- an international group of ham-radio bicyclists. Some members use Morse code while cycling -- including such innovations as using the "play" in modern brake-lever shifters as the "dit" and "dah" paddles. I'm not so sophisticated. - Skip |

Right now I've got Junkie XL playing first on the playlist, follow by some Oakenfold, Ministry of Sound and Goldie. |

Headphones? We ain't got no headphones, ...We don't have to show you any stinking headphones. I didn't hear the OP say anything about using headphones to listen to said music. Noise canceling headphones may not be a good idea. Others, ear buds, may not be bad. But sound, like light, can help us ensure that the brain dead are aware of our presence. It ain't got to be fancy to be loud, a $15 pair of computer speakers will plug in where most headphones do and run off of a pair of c-cells (sister sledge sells c-cells by the sea, sure) Crank it like you was a disaffected youth with a cheap car and and expensive rims. Let the locomotion impaired hear ya coming. Yes, loud and rhythmic - give us the funk. |

I don't listen to music. I listen for potential hazards. |
