Can anyone recommend a little radio you can put on your bike? I hate having to wear earphones in the park, and even though I keep them low, I'd feel better about not wearing them at all!

No music while on the bike for me. But I have been known to sing to myself...I sing in the shower and the car, so why not the bike? :p

When I was in Quebec City last summer, everyone had these little radios attached to their commuter bikes. The radios looked like the old transistor radios from the 50s. Not sure where you could find one, but they do exist.

I recall seeing this ipod accessory in a catalog. I have never used it, so I have no clue how well it works. You do need an ipod though.

I just purchased an i-Ride
http://www.active-tunes.com/

It looks rather cheesy to me, and I don't have it yet due to some shipping snafus. I could post a review once I get it. I'm not expecting much, and I don't want much, since music, to me, on a bike should be very low, and not directly in my ears.
(Are the comma police out today?)

Edit, just clicked on Salsa's link - same thing she was pointing out.

I"m not usually big on music while I ride for safety purposes, but sometimes I have to admit...it keeps you company on monotonous rides! On the street's a different story...to me I'm always alert and completely focused on the road. But sometimes in the park...
