I just hope that all these people who are starting to put speakers on their bikes are going to be considerate enough to keep it turned way down so that others around them who may not wish to hear their music while riding are not going to have to hear it anyway whether they like it or not.
I get so weary of having other people's music forced on me wherever I go- bank, Post Office, 'public' TVs, restaurants, stores, supermarket, offices, dentist.....
When I go out on my bike, one of my greatest pleasures is to hear the natural sounds around me as ride- it one of the few times I can be outside and enjoy peace and quiet and mother nature.
I can just envision riding down a lovely country back road listening to the birds and crickets, deep in thought and personal enjoyment....and then hearing rock music coming up behind me from a distance, slowly approaching.....
