coffee and music

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

The ride is good so far and now it just got better. I found a bottle cage that mounts to the handle bar so I put it on and now I can sip a coffee on the way to work. I have a 6 volt battery in the bottle cage thats on the seat tube and I drink water before I leave and when I arrive so having the coffee is nice and I found a pair of miniature speakers that plug into the top of my mp3 player so I can listen to the radio on the bike. I won't use earphones because that's too dangerous. I tried once but even with the volume lowered I was paranoid about not hearing vehicles so I will give the speakers a try.

Thats a pretty good idea with the radio as like you I would never have earphones in.
