I’ll have to give ya a review. My wife hates that I wear my buds when I cycle in. I just hope its loud enough, cuz I wear a full face helmet. After all, I don’t want to lose my teeth or break my nose (again)

I think it would work… if anybody still biked.

This looks really good, but it may be too expensive for me and it is not quite safe to use this ,while riding.

I currently use a Li-Ion powered radio that I carrry along in a front bike bag that does the job, but a bit heavy and not near as cool looking. I would be interested in trying this one, but I doubt the volume is loud enough. Sony actually makes (or made) a bike radio a couple years back and it even had a built in LCD screen showing speed and cadence sent from the sensors that you obviously must attach. I quit using it because it was impossible to hear over the noise of LA traffic. It is fine if riding in a quiet park or something, but I am a commuter and like to listen to talk radio on those long treks. I don’t think its dangerous at all, but some people can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, like the saying goes. It’s really irritating to be listening to a talk show for an hour and just when they get to a key point, some bus goes by so loudly that one cannot hear a thing on the radio. Its not that the radio prevents anyone from hearing traffic. The one I currently use is designed for construction sites and has a nice speaker and is fairly light, portable and the battery lasts a week. And if I need a flashlight, I can pop out the battery and switch the Li-Ion battery to a portable flashlight that I also carry. I’m working on making a mounting for it to fit the bike. These are way cheaper than buying the bicycle specific devices and probably last much longer.

This is a GREAT Idea….if it’s loud enough. It’s a lot safer than riding around with Headphones + Ipod…..
and Who DOESN’t ride a bike in the summer???
