Oakley has integrated an MP3 player into a pair of glasses. Right now they can only get 30/40 songs on it but as storage adapts to smaller and larger capacity this could be the new wave. Oh there’s only 3 in existence right now so don’t rush out to Best Buy just yet.

I always miss out on that.....it's the sound of my heart trying to beat it's way out of my chest on the uphills or my brain screaming for me to slow down on the downhills.

I ride with my mp3 player sometimes. Especially on long slow rides where i have to hit a low zone. If it's not a closed road i just have the right speaker in my ear and the left one is open so I can hear the traffic or other riders. I dont often ride trail with music.
if i'm on a closed road i often ride with both speakers in but low volume.
For me it's not about drowning out noise it's about having something to focus on and taking my mind off of the monotony of the ride.

I can see that a market exists but I don't like listening to music when I ride - it's very distracting. However, I can't see that more people will listen to music when they ride just because this is available - if someone wants tunes, they'll bring 'em.

Reminds me of somethign that always irked the hell out of me. Kids that decide to run about twice a year that bring CD players with them. Not small, light MP3 players, but they'll be holding the discman for the 10-15 minutes they're running. Seriously people, can't you just enjoy the suffering?

people do things for different reasons. your reason and their reason are not the same therefor you shouldnt concern yourself with their business. Makes life just a little more simple.

I can pound more miles on the road bike with an earbud in one ear. I don't even have an MP3 player. CD player in the middle jersey pocket. Leave the left ear open for traffic. Last night was Rob Zombie. I have time to adjust volume and such while I wait on signal lights to change. :D
