  1. Just wondering if you all listen to music, headphones or otherwise,
    while you're riding. I know this topic has been discussed before but
    not for a while now. If you do listen, what type do you listen to? Any
    particular song you start off with or is it just a random selection?
    Before anyone posts about the safety issues come up I've heard them and
    have thought about it at great length so thanks for the concern but
    please don't. I only ride Coker but am wondering about all types of
    riding. Later.

  2. Well i start by listening to *DJ Micro - Inside of me* to build up my
    energy and then just start listening to Trance/dance/euphoric music
    afterwards. 😄

    Also welcome to the forums aj23. If you require assistance/help with
    unicycling or whatever it may. Don't hesitate to ask me or any of the
    friendly people of this forum. 😄

  3. Well i posted a thread similar to this a little while back...but in
    reply to your post i listen to (at the moment) the top 100 techno songs
    vol.11(torrent them)...just a few fast songs that get your adrenilan
    (spelt Wrong) .., and you feel like on top of the world....It helps me
    when i ride because it gets rid of distractions...(or i think so)

    Welcome to the forums and enjoy unicycling

  4. when i ride trials, i dont, because i like to hear what is going on
    around me, since hearing has a lot to do with balance. i have a couple
    times, and i might more now because i've found that if it is super
    quite, it doesnt effect my ridin, but it helps get me pupmed:p . i do
    when i do just flat tricks though, because i find that it doesnt effect
    my balance as much.

  6. I do not listen to music. I want to hear what is going around me,
    especially when I ride around the neighborhood on my 29er. I want to
    hear cars coming up behind me or kids or dogs that might be chasing me.
    Also, I want to hear when people speak to me as I ride.

  7. When I'm riding the trails in the local forests, then I don't listen to
    anything, mainly because I like to here if another bike is approaching
    me from behind.
    If I were listening to my miniature music machine I'd be blissfully
    unaware of the unladylike epithets issuing forth from a frustrated
    mountain b*ker behind me.
    Just a common courtesy.

    When I'm at the beach on the other hand, well, the path there is around
    ten metres wide, so I can blast the Foo Fighters at full volume with no
    fear of irate cyclists getting stuck behind the fella on one wheel.

  9. Well, seeing how all my music on my comp is music that I like, and
    gladly listen to, I just pick randomly. So some days its metal, some
    days its rock, trance/techno, hip-hop, classical, ambient, blues, jazz,
    and a lot of other styles.

    I just scroll through my list, find a band I haven't listened to in a
    while, and load up a few of their albums onto my player and im out the
    door.

  10. Most of my riding is either commuting or touring. Either way, I almost
    always listen to music.

    The play list is a bit more aggressive than what I might listen to in
    the evening, but I find that helps get the blood flowing, the muscles
    pumping and the wheel turning. Typical favourites for riding around
    London are Green Day, Beastie Boys and The Grates.

    Due to the amount of jewellry in my left ear, I only have my headphone
    sitting in my right ear. It's loud enough that I can hear the music
    well, but I can always hear the traffic, and most of what people call
    out to me.

  11. i listen to a wide variety of stuff - thankfully my ipod is loaded with
    many songs of many types so i just usually put it on shuffle and get a
    good selection that gets me pumped up and feeling alive when i ride.
    My main choice is punk-rock, but i also have Superheist, Foo Fighters,
    28 Days, Hilltop, 1200 Techniques, Linkin Park, Grinspoon, Fast Crew,
    Ballpoint and After the Fall... to name a few😄

    Afraid not. The AJ you're thinking of posts under the name 'epistolize'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/member.php?u=11876) and doesn't have
    a Coker.

    I've never seen him without a pair of headphones though...

  13. I usually have 1 earbud in and am listening to an ipod.

    What music really depends on how I'm feeling.

    Trance is usually good though.

  15. I listen to 4'33" by John Cage. I have it on infinite repeat. On
    careful listening you can pick out new things in the music and
    performance every time. The music gives me an awareness that keeps
    every ride interesting.

  16. If doing trials or MUni I never listen to music. Just too dangerous. One
    you can't hear what is going on around you and two the earphone wire
    always gets caught on something! When I am communing or doing road
    rides or cross country then I like to listen to music. "On the Road
    Again" by Willie or "Passion Rules the Game" by the Scorpions are
    always good starters!

  17. I listen to a variaty of music when I ride from things such as E Nomine
    (trance german/latin vocals) to Demon Hunter (Christian Heavy Metal).
    But to get me started I listen to Hilltop's "What A Great Night".
    Started listening to that after it was in one of The.Mars.Volta's vids.

  18. You all have given me a lot of new music to go and check out. I'm not
    new to the forums and have been riding Coker since 1999. Unless I'm
    riding with someone else I always ride with music. I honestly feel more
    in balance and more in tune with the wheel when the music is going. I
    listen to anything from Frank Sinatra to Sam Cooke to Otis Redding to
    System of a Down to Metallica to Linkin Park to Elvis Presley and
    anything in between. Have a good day everyone. Later.
