  1. When I ride, i like music playing. I have a walkman, and a discman(not
    actually sony for either). I do not own an MP3 player yet.

    I either listen to the local radio(country, or rock) or some cds(mainly
    country)

    What about you?

    Micheal

    I am not a redneck.

    tunes make my commute a lot more enjoyable, I like a lot of different
    stuff as long as the beat either matches my heartrate or cadence. but
    music on the trail? it's never even crossed my mind, then again some
    peoples idea of a trail (especially some floridians) could be boring
    enough to warrent the distraction

    If i didnt have headphone one, cranked with music, i would hear 2 types of
    noises... both are bad.

    1) Animals, expecially bears. Although, we only have black bears.

    2) Creaks and groans of my bike. Those noices would dive me more insane than
    i already am.

    I prefer the fast country music.... nothing like the devil going down to
    Georgia

    When I ride, I tell the voices in my head to start singing - hopefully
    something I like ;-)

    I try to avoid pedestrian traffic that's listening to music while they walk -
    and are unable to hear my bell.

    QOTSA makes me go faster, or at least it seems to.

    I finally broke down and bought one. I got one that is flash memory based
    (no skips) and and it has been a nice addition to my (non bike) workout
    routine. I don't think I'd wear it while riding though.

    I am not a redneck.

    I regularly bump riders out of the commuting lane when I have to shout
    at them because they're in a private iPod oblivion and can't hear me
    repeatedly belting "On left!"
    I have QOTSA/Sabbath/Slayer going through my head all day, so I don't
    need headphones. However, at the end of long rides, I often get some
    strange Hall & Oates frequency. If I'm really bent, I'll hear "Frere
    Jacques", over and over....

    It's waaaay better than "Alouette", so just be thankful for small mercies. ;-)
    The CNC router today was working on a beat that just started that going in my
    mind, and it took me all frikkin' day to shake it. Ugh! <shudder>

    I listen to Plastic Bertrands "Tour De France" over and over again,
    untill i cant stand it any more and go out for a ride.

    cheers

    Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
    a tale of a fateful trip.
    That started from this tropic port,
    aboard this tiny ship.

    Worse than a bad case of hiccups.

    Probably. I know which show it refers to, but having grown up in England, I
    don't know the tune or any of the words. ;-)

    I WIN!

    Goddamn Shawn! Isn't there something against electronic terrorism in

    who was bringing up three very lovely girls...
