An iPod Speaker For Your Bike
I can’t tell you how excited I am by this little gizmo! I was really close to buying a megaphone last week so I could build this nutty contraption and attach it to the back of my bike, but I think this iPod speaker might do the trick a lot better.
On the ride down to LA earlier this month, one of the riders (i don’t know her name and have only heard people refer to her as the-megaphone-girl) would take out a megaphone attached to her ipod at the top of every big hill and blast out the theme song from Rocky (or something in that vein) to cheer us on. It made me so happy everytime I saw her!!! Ever since then, I’ve been looking for something to put on my bike so that I can play music out loud on long rides (since it’s unsafe to use headphones or earbuds while riding).
The main drawbacks of this particular speaker though are that it’s sort of pricy ($99) and it sits in my water bottle cage (where I generally put my water bottle). Still, I think I may get it…unless one of you guys knows of a better solution!
