Music For Cycling

Rebecca Smith said:

The music I like to listen to at home is slow and quiet, not at all suitable
to listening to while on a bike or the indoor trainer. Can y'all recommend
some zippy stuff for me? Guess I should mention that I quit listening to R&R
back in the late sixties. Also, any good tips for building an iPod
collection that won't bust my social security check? I might be old but that
doesn't keep me from competing.
Thanks,
Rebecca

I have a stack of "compilation" disks that I ride to. Depending on what sort of ride I am going to do I use different disks to ride to every one has a beat rythm that suits a certain workout.
I did it by downloading the music off the internet and when I had the right mix, sorted it and burnt a disk, well a friend of mine did the copying bit for me, but you get the idea.
Works great for me, cost?? the cost of some disks.
Hope this helps.

Dumbass -

Remove your seat (leaving the seatpost), lube yourself up, and put on
Ravel's "Bolero".

you're welcome,

Ooh, that could be brutal with a Campy style seatpost.

BTW, Bolero DOES work great for a change from head-banging and hip-hop.

Sex Pistols. By far the best music for high-cadence roller riding.

Download from news:alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 or
news:alt.binaries.multimedia.sports : "Music from my backpocket" (or
something like that). Just posted, might need some time to propagate.

A song I love that is kind of upbeat is St. Germain's "Pont Des Arts".
The whole Tourist album is great, if I had to pick one, that's my
favorite song on the album.

Well, just look what effect it had on the Turdgun.

I guess this means you don't like rock and since I do, I won't make specific
recommendations. Pity, because you'll be missing out on a bunch of very
motivational tunes. Like the time I was struggling to bike up the hill up to
bandcamp and "Renegades of Funk" came on - the perfect shuffle que - because it
was just a fraction of a beat too fast for how fast of a cadence I thought I
could maintain. Anyway, what kind of upbeat stuff do you like?

You'd be amazed how cheap CDs go for on ebay and used through Amazon, etc. You
have to be careful to not get beat up junk, so just read the details, ask
questions before you bid/buy, etc. Try to buy a few discs from the same seller
to cut down on the shipping cost. I recently picked up 4 excellent quality CDs
for less than 2 bucks total and paid $4 to ship them priority. Score! But the
real cheap way is to share music with friends. I think you need at least 500
tunes to make up a good set of playlists and 1000 or 2000 is much better -
unless you want to hear the same stuff real often. I'm always amazed at how
random song selection can put just the right track on when needed - or is it
that I spent the time to put together great playlists? Yea, that's it!

This makes me feel like going for a ride - thanks!
