roads!

(available on ebay too)

These are for pushbikes, but can be used on the handlebar of a bike, although you'll struggle to hear much over 40mph! (and nothing at 70)

can connect to mp3 player, etc.

They are not useless, and they are not sold - available on ebay. A lot of sensible bikers, like me, spend 70% of our riding <30.

Laughing

So doing less than the speed limit and annoying people behind you makes you a sensible biker?

You're not going to get hearing damage from using headphones unless you've got the volume far too high. Laughing Using headphones you can have much higher sound quality than you'd get from those speakers which will just be really tinny.

Speakers attached to the bars of a pushbike or motorbike is very chav like.

piss off is it chav like, I won't hear of such nonsense.

That's the problem with you lot, you're too image conscious - just enjoy the ride and stop being such sops.

The music's for you, not for others. It's chav like to NOt adopt such an obvious answer to one's musical needs.

Because my ears hurt with earphones after a while. And becuase you can block the sound out easier if it's from a speaker, if you need to focus on the road - same reason car driers don't use earphones when there's no need to.

Keep in mind that with the speakers in question, no one else will realy be able to hear it when on the move except the rider.

Get some headphones which don't make your ears hurts?

Car drivers don't use headphones because they're able to have speakers that don't sound shit. A small speaker mounted to the handlebars isn't going to sound good, it'll sound as bad as music being played from a mobile.

Do you play music on your phone when in public places or on public transport? Razz

Having experienced riding a GT750 with a Pantera fairing and in-built radio with speakers, I can vouch for the fact that although it's a laugh to have Classic FM blasting out up the high street, above 50mph it's pointless, and you look like a cunt.

If you want music on the bike, stick with in-ear headphones.
