Melody and biking: match built in heaven

There are an ideal many positives that come with regular biking. It is great training, it enables you to empty your head and relax but it lets you discover some of the more fascinating natural surroundings in your local region.

Cycling can also be cheap, environmentally friendly (assuming you do not have a bloke driving behind you hauling your briefcase along with a suit and tie like a certain Prime Minister who shall remain nameless) and good for all elements of your body, from aerobic fitness to cardio vascular fitness.

One drawback, still, is that you can’t quite hear your music when you wish to (also, travelling to the air port with cases in a definite ‘no no’). Playing your music when out and about on a bike isn’t nearly as easy as switching on the radio or playing MP3’s within the car. Obviously you may create a playlist, slap in some earpieces and head out on your way, and you’ll maybe soon find that the earpieces are falling out, or sweat is destroying them, or the noise of the wind and also the road are killing all your best tracks.

We’ve tried everything from frequently purchasing new earpieces (time consuming and expensive), to taping them into our ears (you’ll appear to be a berk and also you will not be able to speak with anyone) and, being honest; we mostly found cycling to music to be a really annoying experience. In a single example, we were even pulled over by police!

On the other hand, there are some models of headphone manufactured with exercise like cycling in mind. These earpieces are hard and durable, yet also lightweight and high spec. But for each mock-up that claims to get these qualities and actually delivers on its statements, there are several that are lying about it. Ergo, this website was founded to sort the men from the boys, as it were.

We will provide you with up to date news, reviews and features, as well as helpful hints from cyclists and audiophiles (our hand-picked staff, naturally, inhabit both camps) and suggestions as to which is the highest performance type in your price range.

Cycling and music go together like poetry and nature, cheese and marmite, or Tom and Jerry: faultlessly. With our help, it is possible to take advantage of these magnificent, life-affirming pastimes in a way that compliments both, as well as gaining an interesting insight into contemporary sound production methods.

We employ a bright, easy philosophy on this blog: ‘music = life, life = cycle’.
