I found this product for sale--the i-Ride. It's a small speaker system and
bike mount for iPod.

Two reactions:

I'm really going to risk a $300 iPod on a crappy plastic mount like
that? NFW!

If they're loud enough to be heard over street noise, they're louder
than I want to hear as I ride past. Just what we need; the boom-box
wars moving to bikes.



There's enough noise in the world now. Don't make more.

Old school. I MacGyvered something like that way back in the eighty's
Now I just tuck a pair of small amplified walkman speakers into the side
pouches of my handlebar bag.

Looks like Apple's new iPod shuffle could come in very handy for this
purpose.

Can't be any worse than a car stereo. I would just strap my portable
speakers/iPod into the webbing on my trunk bag, but if you just gots to have
tunes....

The question I have is where or what do you do with the IPOD or MP3 player
or whatever.
They just have a earphone plug on the unit so the player has to be mounted
or affixed to the bike somewhere else.

Seat pack? That's where I'd put it. That, or strapped to my arm via the jogger-
holster I have.

The portable speakers I use have a built-in dock connector, making this moot.
