I'm surprised you're allowed to listen to music at work. Doesn't Burger King have a rule against that?
Man. You really need to get laided don't you ??

So what would "laided" mean, eh? Oh, do you mean "laid?" Dude, you rock! I hope errors like that don't keep you from being promoted out of that special needs class you're in.

Well, pat yourself on the back, CampyBob, toss back a PBR or two, and go do a celebratory donut or two in your driveway with your internal combustion penis extension. Now I know why all the guys down at your local beer and wine drive-thru think you're such a stud.

Wow, Cupcake. Laided isn't a spelling error: it's a sign of terminal ignorance. Sound it out like they've been teaching you in class this year:

Layd.....
Lay' ded.....

Coming from you, that means very little. Now, run along, little one.

Don't listen to music when riding. Love the sounds around me - wind in my ears, my tires on the road, the click of shifting. I do tend to get a song in my head at times that might pump me up and then thinking of that tune or the rhythm or lyrics will motivate me. I must admit I do love the sound of my Vredestein tires - they tend to sing in a way my Conti's never did.

I'm aware of the hearing dangers, please save the (well intended) lectures, thanks.

Anyway, Back in the late 80s & early 90s I used to take a Walkman along on my LSD rides in the country backroads that were littered with dairies, peach orchards and not much else.
Hammer:Too Legit To Quit was the joint back then, and the perfect riding rekkid...To me anyway.
I don't bring music along anymore, the earbuds get all sweaty.

I understand the many who believe that listening to music while riding is dangerous, but I personally think that you are overrating the danger. There is a good article at http://www.bikexprt.com/bicycle/hearing.htm on the subject.

I personally used to commute with one ear piece in and the other out because that was the law in my area. I now use a set of bone conduction headphones that allow me to listen to my music without affecting my hearing.

Tool, Rush, and lately some REM, Blondie, Police, Phil Collins and Genisis.

Oh yeah, and some Cracker. I love that song they do called "Lonesome Johnny Blues". "Let's go for a ride" is good too, even if he is talking about a motorcycle.
It goes kinda like this: I ride my bike, I drive my car. Take me back to you. I ride my bike, I drive my car. Take me back ta you. Take me ta you.

They're best known for their hit "Low".

I listen to music on most of my training rides. I don't have the music too loud that I can't hear traffic. I live in the country, I could go out on a 160km ride and only see 5 or 6 houses and 5 or 6 cars the whole ride.
I listen to mainly metal, everything from Judas priest and Maiden, Manowar, Bathory, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, old Slayer and 80s speed metal.
Favourite band is Virgin Steele.
Haven't tried listening to music whilst competing in a time trial yet, I've got one coming up in a few weeks, good prize money, fairly big race. Think I'll crank up the Sadistik exekution for that one. Might give me a few seconds
