Do you listen to music during your rides?

IC3 · 15 Aug 2015 at 01:12

I usually put some music on when I know its going to be a longer ride, around the town I don't even bother tbh.

My choice for music streaming service is spotify, I use my mate's playlists as I can't be bothered to make my own.

I will create them eventually!

BTW Post your favourite music, I'm interested to see what people listen to. I know one guy who listens to Mozart and Beethoven during his rides, even if I had a more powerful bike I doubt I could keep up with him.

I listen to the sweet music of my art race can

But if I had to listen to some it would be guns n roses or ac/dc or anything 80's

I bet some AC/DC songs tempt to be more aggressive with the throttle, right?

I listen to whatever Google music has decided to pump out.

Pretty much always listening to Spotify on my commute, I love music and have an eclectic taste!

This is my "random good stuff" playlist Spotify playlist which I listen to loads.

Also Foo fighters (sonic highways is getting played a lot recently) and the offspring are getting played a lot.

Oh and the heavy love these guys.

Edit - wrong thread

VoG · 15 Aug 2015 at 10:22

Nope, prefer to be 100% focussed on my bike & surroundings, don't want to miss the sound of a bolt working loose because ive got an ear full of my favourite music.

wazza300 · 15 Aug 2015 at 10:28

"highway to hell..."

Yer the Music of my Highway Hawk Pipes.

It's illegal here and in the surrounding countries so I don't.

hlxbravo · 15 Aug 2015 at 13:51

30 minute commute, so whatever I fancy off my phone tbh, which currently consists of:

Aaron Lewis
Alter Bridge
Avenged Sevenfold
Bullet For My Valentine
Cold
Creed
Daughtry
Eminem (his lyrics just make me chuckle as I ride along)
James Bay (favourite right now)
Metallica
Slash
StainD
Tremonti

Need more music but can never decide what to download.

Nah, I listen to blues from 70-90's, some dnb and other remixes (I'm really picky though), Sabaton, punk rock from the 90's and early 00's, some 90's instrumentals/beats, rap from the late 90's and anything that I come across that I like. I don't limit myself to one genre or artist... :cool:

wazza300 · 15 Aug 2015 at 14:32

I'll have look at your playlist once I get back home from work, I'm in till 21:00 today

gcaster · 15 Aug 2015 at 17:29

I do, tend to stick on more chilled stuff or I just get ****ed off with drivers round here. Recently bought Fleetwood Mac's best of and they're keeping me in check nicely.

Guess you're not overly busy though.

It's actually really busy, I'm constantly working (our department is constantly employing people to keep up with the demand...). I'm just popping in on my lunch and tea breaks, that post I did previously was during my lunch.

I prefer to have all of my senses available so I don't listen to anything. the amount of peds and cyclists that don't have a clue what's around them because they are listening to music is stupid.
