There's nothing better than listening to your iPOD on your long lonely training rides.
My favourite track at the moment is Gwen Stefani - What you waiting for!!!
It really gets you going

Can't think of many more dangerous things to do. Any kids reading this thread DON'T DO IT
Unless at home on a turbo |

Why?
I can understand it if you have it so loud you cant hear a car horn!!!
Also the roads where I live are reasonably quiet.
So do you have a tune when your on your turbo?

| I sometimes listened to a Walkman back in the mid-80s, if I was going for a long steady ride. |

T`aint dangerous, I often have the radio/tape playing, anyway you can only really hear it properly when theres no traffic and your going slow i.e up a climb.
Any traffic / wind drowns it out, keep the volume lowish and you can hear revs behind no probs.
Fav tune - any U2 
Listening to a comedy tape aint good laughter doesn`t help when your nailing it, and/or people think your a bit nutty!
p.s If you don`t agree with people listening to music, you should see the old guy who regularly plods up and down the A6 with ear defenders on!!

On your own is OK, but riding with earphones (like a bloke in our club does  ) whilst in a group is a big no no  |

I think it is actually illegal to wear earphones while riding.
But saying that I nearly always listen to a walkman.
Heavy metal of dance music is what keeps me going.

I agree I've got an I-River 40gb, I sometimes use it on the bike when I'm on my own on long rides. I have the volume at a level where I can still hear traffic behind me. |
