Do ipods and bikes really mix? (Except on a trainer?)
Do ipods and bikes really mix? (Except on a trainer?)
FBG..we know....
I hope this thread will not be turned into another mud slinging match...there are tons of threads asking this question & many responses. We don't need 6 more pages about why it's bad. We know & just leave it.

"A bicycle does get you there and more. And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun."
Playing music as you flash by has got to be safer than having your headphones in, right?
I like the look of this one - I *think* should fit on the bike like a standard bottle cage (but haven't seen it except in pics)

My husband made a holder for his Treo and his air horn. He has made them to fit his iPhone. It's very lightweight and secures with zip ties onto the frame.
sundial, I really like that. What did he use? Thanks

OK maybe too much info here, but I put my ipod in my bra, its in a sleeve and it still works after many years of using it., to change songs, volume etc is all easily accesible. I just have one ear plug in, the ear away from any oncoming traffic, eg bikes etc that may overtake me so i can hear them coming. NB, i also put my ipod in my bra for running, so when I was training for ironman last year my ipod did loads of kms in my bra and all is still good.
strange i know![]()
Surgtech, it's a heat moldable material that is lightweight and stiff like carbon fiber. I can't remember the name of it right off.
Ninabike, he has made several types of holders for our iPods, iPhone, and his Treo. It takes him about 30 minutes or so to make it and he attaches it to the bike frame using zip ties over raquetball tape to prevent scuffs on the bike frame.
