TNT1 Posted November 13, 2009 Share .For all I care you can have a symphony orchestra with you as long as it does not impede on the other riders.

reteid Posted November 13, 2009 Share The weight depends on whether you are listening to heavy metal or light classical. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/56263-ipods-and-cycling/page/2/#findComment-860277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT1 Posted November 13, 2009 Share The weight depends on whether you are listening to heavy metal or light classical. So you mean the difference between an electric guitar and a cello? Wait, what about all these metal bands that have a song accompanied by a full orchestra?

TNT1 Posted November 13, 2009 Share If that's your concern, you should listen to Fatima Mansions covering a Bryan Adams classic Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/56263-ipods-and-cycling/page/2/#findComment-860298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbvip Posted November 13, 2009 Share Ipods don't belong in any form of cycling races. Not only are you p!ssing off the riders trying to pass you (ever notice how its only the slow guys that wear ipods?), you are compromising your, and more importantly fellow riders' safety.

mr_stig Posted November 13, 2009 Share If you are listening to dozi/kurt/steve/jurie etc you have bigger problems than being hit by cars Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/56263-ipods-and-cycling/page/2/#findComment-860433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted November 13, 2009 Share yea well I iPaq not iPod and you will also notice us slow riders smile more. If you are still able to hear important sounds like a hooter or soemone yelling I dont believe there is a safety issue. And another plus, also drowns out that inate chatter from others than can sometimes get very tedious kosmonooit2009-11-13 06:58:56 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/56263-ipods-and-cycling/page/2/#findComment-860463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo Posted November 13, 2009 Share I used to ride all the time with music but stopped on mtb rides because you slip up on all the sounds of nature and one needs to communicate with other riders to give way etc and often there are greetings exchanged ... but I do miss the tunes and beats to give me pace and lift my soul. For road rides like 94.7 I am def. going to be listening to music BUT the earpieces I use do allow me to hear whats going on around me (as one should) I think the earpieces that cut off all exernal sounds are silly if not dangerous. I agree. When mtb-ing, it's a waste to listen to music ( for me!), but on the road I need all the help I can get. And music does exactly what you say. I cycle on busy roads and I hear the cars and trucks, because I chose the right earpieces. But to cycle 60km + without music will be the cause of my death - too boring!

firefox Posted November 13, 2009 Share I ride with my MP3 in one ear. If I am in a pack and need to concentrate a bit more on what is going on then I take it out and put it back later. If the racing snakes are flying past the slowbies then .....what are you doing there in the first place??? Enjoy the sights and SOUNDS of JHB, looking forward to the drag up the M1.
