where to put your iPod when riding

[NOMADAK]

I use a Ipod shuffle on it's own supplied lanyard. I wear this around my neck underr my jersy and chest protector.

Works for me.

For me, using the hard drive based orginal Ipod would be a no-no. Too big, too expensive and too heavy

I ride with music use a ipod shuffle that way if break it.It did not cost much they supply a lanyard that go's around your neck and put it my jersey.Works for me I keep it low so i still hear the bike with music in the background.?

I tuck my ipod shuffle (old style) into my kidney belt. Stays put. My k.belt is under my jersey and my jersey is tucked in btw. (i also have a under the jersey chest protector style jacket thing).

I also have roadraced with my ipod in for practice. While I race WITHOUT it, I find for practice it's mint. You have to turn it up almost full volume, but once you are riding the bike noise (mx) and wind noise (roadracing) almost mute it out.

I have zero trouble hearing my bike, my engine, or other bikes around me. You'd be surprised.

I don't think I would use an Ipod go buy a couple of these

It probably would only last about 6 months but hey if you fall and destroy it your only out a few bucks.

Yeah, I've been meaning to try this myself. Even if you crank it up, it can't be all THAT bad. Look at Ashley Fiolek, she's completely deaf and she's on her way to becoming the best in the womens class.

a friend of mine has his zip tied to the bottom side of his visor and it works well for him. i love listening to music while im riding. which i always sing when i ride, not sure why but i do. just a habit i guess. but when im in the zone im always singing so i really like having an ipod when i ride

I keep my Ipod in my Pocket when i ride,

[sxy rider 39]

If I sing when I ride, it kinda reminds me to breath more often, so the i-pod idea seems like it could help me ride a lil' better.

Use a flash memory Ipod in a waterproof/shockproof case.

I don't use one but that would be my recipe if I did.

[Beta300REcat]

Put your IPod wherever you want, just put it in one of these...............

How do you get the head phones to stay in

i ride with a ipod nano with the armband with the silicon skin. It's been through 150 mile mexico rides without a scratch. I've taken some nice spills with it on too.

[brinboise]

man, I'm getting way too old-I never would have thought to listen to music while riding!

[pk6n]

I've tried the music and riding thing. I hated it, My opinion. I'd try and ride then forget about the music, then i'd try and listen to the music but forget about the riding part. Maybe I can't multitack or something? haha

Anyways, what I did was found a old cell phone case laying around, Bought a big patch of velcro, then velcro-ed it to the back of my helmet and just slid it right in the case, it was really tight fit so it never came out, only tried it 2 times but still never moved. Then I ran bought some ear plugs and ran them through my helmet and to my ears. never put them in my ear but I could still hear the music.

HAHA! Last Dec I was riding Ocotillo Wells and went for a putt with the Ipod. I went 15 miles out of camp all the way to the Gas Domes, and the batteries gave out. So no tunes. I continued to ride in that area and almost endo'd off hill, but saved it. When I got back to camp...no Ipod. It was a new 80 gig one too! Next morning, I took off for the same spot with dim hopes of ever finding the $300 bugger. Wouldn't you know it, I was in 3rd, and something caught my eye! It was a dollar bill stuck in the sand. Well, what the hey, I grab that...then...no way! My Ipod was 15 feet a way standing straight up in the sand! So, I thought that dollar bill was lucky, and eventually put it to good use by tucking it into the garter of a stripper!

How do you get the head phones to stay in

I took my ipod to the dunes last year and couldnt get the earpeices to stay in. I had my pod in my camelback, got a little sandy but still works a year later fine:banana:

The arm band works for me very well, and I have a Nano (that I stole from my wife!haha) You are going to likely land on it wherever you have it, i.e. backpack, butt pack, etc. I would go with the arm band, since the arm protectors from the chest protector will cover it perfectly, and it would be unlikely for it to get broken anyway, due to its flatness and the thick neoprene holding it. My crappy cell phone has withstood hits in my jeans! Good luck, D.
