  1. Just curious if anyone has any favorite MP3 playlists for riding fast? Please refrain from your
    motherly instincts of warning about riding and listening to MP3's ;-)

    Use Grokster and find the clip of what it would sound like to Bambi as a pack of mad howling and
    snarling dogs howling chased him down. There is also a one of the sound of three rednecks throwing
    beer bottles out of a pickup truck approaching you from behind. John Cage's 4:53 is also popular
    with a lot of cyclists I know. It also saves a lot of battery power.

    I don't listen to music when riding outside. I listen to cars, the wind, the stream, wildlife, etc.
    Blocking out external sound is dangerous IMO.

    If you want kick-ass music for riding though, check out spinning.com's music forum or turnstep.com's
    cycling forum. Indoor cycling instructors know everything about motivational music. For example:

    Primus, Those Damned Blue Collar Tweakers White Zombie, More Human Than Human Peter Gabriel, lots of
    stuff Overseer, Horn Dog Fleetwood Mac, Tusk Lynyrd Skynyrd, Free Bird

    I took a class on a 15-minute simulated climb to Ravel's Bolero. Believe it or not, that
    worked great.

    You mean a continuous loop of "Eye of the Tiger" isn't enough?!

    I prefer "Ride of the Valkyries" or "Saber Dance".
