    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

    Not strange at all! I do that at the gym on the treadmill -I don't do it running outside, for some reason, though!

    I use a Shuffle. Super easy to attach to sleeve and change songs, adjust volume, etc. You can get a good deal on the "old" design, since there's a newer version now. I just got one when dh went to buy a new charger and found out it would only cost $20 more to buy a new shuffle that comes with a charger. So he got a charger and I go a shuffle. Sweet!

    not that I am debating the use/non use of music while riding....

    the bra works well for storage......and now works even better since I have pockets (gotta love cancer...but when god gives you lemons make lemonaid!)....

    If you like the bra idea you can get a mastectomy bra with a pocket to keep it in....

    On one of the 3-day Breast Cancer walks, a woman had a Big Gulp drink cup in her cleavage. She barely had to tilt her head to sip from the straw.

    Sundial, I love that!! Although I don't use an iPod, I have been putting my Blackberry in a small bento box with padding in the bottom. It's not a very good fit, but I think I will try to rig something like you have. I don't like carrying my Blackberry in my jersey pocket because it is so bulky and if I take a spill, I would have one huge bruise.

    I think they call that a redneck cupholder

    I wonder if it really works. Has anyone tried it?
    I have one for my nano 3g and it works great for running. I attach it to my pants, just below the waistband, because it bounces around too much on my shirt.

    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.

    Thank you for reminding me that I'm way overdue for having my bQQbs squished yearly. I vote no ipod, listen to the birdies chirp and to all of you singing off key as you pass me because you're listening to the ipod in your bra.

    If I can avoid the new storage options I'd like to do that. But it's nice to know that if I survived cancer I could ride, be fabulous and have new storage options. I would look like the real cool kids that don't even use an under seat bag, just what is in the rear jersey pocket or perhaps just tucked in the leg of a bib short (turned up so the logo on the elastic shows).

    But wait where'd she store that Topeak mini pump?

    I just leave it in my regular running armband, but stick it in my jersey pocket.
