Haha yeah that helmet visor didn't work out too well! But hey, it was
something to try anyway.🙂 I guess all the sunblock I slather on anyway
will have to suffice! Either that or ride at night...which is fun too!

That would be the drink tube in my camelback!😎 The other cool
beneift is that people are less likely to start humming or whistleing
that dreaded "circus" tune if they hear me blasting "Stairway to

Oh yeah, some guy on a retro looking beach cruiser stopped me and gave
me a card, and wants me to join his bicycling club on their next beach
ride! They even have their own website:
http://southbaycruisers.com/Welcome%20%20.html

It looks like they really have a blast!😄

What's your inseam measurement? I'm 5'9" with a 31" inseam and I have
the saddle way low on my KH29 with only about 3" of seatpost showing.
I'm wondering if my dream of riding a coker is even possible?

height! No problem.

See, I think you need to have that circus tune already on your ipod, so
you can beat them to the punch. Play it loud, and with a proper
recording from a fine orchestra. It will be like a hallucination for
the bystanders. After you ride by, they'll all go "did what I think
just happen really just happen?". 🙂

Just do it one day, somewhere away from the people who usually see you.
Just to freak people out about seeing a unicycle, noticing a
ridiculously large wheel on said unicycle, and hearing circus music
from the rider of said unicycle.

Do you not think you may be being slightly inconsiderate to others ?
Some foolish mortals may not like having their own peace disturbed by
even such legendary Led Zep' tracks.

It is annoying enough to hear that "tsk tsk tsk" noise coming from
someone elses iPod earphones, but subjecting them to your own taste in
music at volume is just plain rude. Music should be shared at gigs or
kept to yourself - have some consideration.

Psh...at half volume, they'd only hear the tunes for two to three
seconds at most.

What are those things powered by?

I'd maybe agree with this in general, but having ridden with Terry
where he rides mostly, I think it's not wrong there. Venice bike path
is crowded out with people, there's tons of people with music hanging
around on the beach, I don't think it's really out of place, kind of
fits in with the whole everyone getting out riding/skating etc. thing.
I think it's much more anti-social in such a crowded place to hide
inside an mp3 player cocoon oblivious to the poor bugger on the big
unicycle who wants to overtake you, there were tons of people doing
that there and it's way more annoying.

Thinking about it though, the sound of a tiny set of speakers like that
is way less noise than a car engine, a motorbike engine, or many other
noises that we don't generally see as anti-social. Yeah if you sit down
next to a bunch of people and subject them to your tunes for hours,
that's antisocial, but if you're just making a bit of noise when you
ride along, you're far less bad than a car driver.

On a related note, I've skated with people with similar (but a lot
bigger/louder) systems, and it's great fun, especially when you have
hundreds of people skating along to the music. It'd be cool to get
together a bigger sound system and get a really big ride together!

fully agree there: due to age my eyesight is going down but I still
have very keen ears. So I use all the time my ears to try to guess what
is going on around me. Needless to say I do not listen to music while
riding!

At work I have to constantly remind other people that I can hear their
music though it is played through earplugs ... they just stare at me as
if I were a little green man :o

No offense, but you're simply being a "killjoy" here!🙄 But to
answer your question, "do I think it's rude?" Nope, not in the
slightest! There are *Countless* people blasting music MUCH louder than
me, and many are playing music from their beach homes through their
stereo systems and people in the vacinity (like within a 1/4 mile:eek🙂
cannot escape the sounds!

I am constantly moving and the volume is only loud enough that I can
hear it, and certainly can't compete with all surrounding sounds. These
little speakers are pretty good, but pretty small, and outside with all
the other sounds, the music coming out is negligible at best

But I didn't get a *Single* protestation, sneer, or dissaproving
glance; as I said, lots of people that I would momentarily pass by were
even singing right along. I don't call that rude, but rather bringing a
smile to their face is a good thing!
