I don't know how well that would work. I don't ride with music either, preferring to listen to the sounds of nature. :-) ....although the drone of a busy 4 lane sucks. I never noticed how loud it can be until I started riding my bike there. It's awful, with the loud exhausts and big tires and all. |
