"I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how wonderful iRide is! I recently rode in the MS 150 from Houston to Austin with 6 of my friends. One of our group found your site and got the iRide speakers, then 4 of us followed suit because they were so great! It made the ride, 180 miles in 2 days, a breeze...well enjoyable anyway! ;)  The MS 150 in Houston has 13,000 riders and I can tell you these speakers got lots of advertising along the way with all of us telling other riders where to find them. Thanks for making such a great product!! :)   "

When I ride my bicycle, I like to listen to some music, or sometimes some news/talk radio. I have routinely had some sort of armband device, or occasionally my Palm in my pocket as a source, and headphones in my ears. This has obvious disadvantages, from being cumbersome, possibility of dropping things, and the loss of being able to hear traffic noises as well. I discovered a nifty little device that promises to fix all these issues: The i-RIDE bicycle stereo is a set of speakers that mounts to your handlebars, and takes all sort of media input via a standard headphone patch cord. I purchased this, and found it to be just as advertised. I took it for a short bike ride today, and really liked being able to have some tunes going, with nothing in my ears. Part of the system is a small zippered neoprene bag that Velcros to the bike, to hold your mp3 player/radio. My assessment: Pretty sweet deal for $30.
