Music?

[mattmcuomo@yahoo.com]

I used to listen when commuting since it's a boring ride and a little classic rock helped the time go by. Back then I used an IPod and cheap earbuds under my helmet. The great thing about the IPod is that the control wheel had tactile feedback (it clicks) thus I could control volume, skip a song, etc. all by feel while never taking my eyes off the road. Of course this didn't really work with gloves.

When I switched to a smart phone, well, it got a lot harder to select and play music without having to pull my phone out of my pocket, look at it, no gloves, etc. all while riding through traffic. Too dangerous, so I stopped. Worse than texting and driving IMO. Might see if my old IPod still works.

I use iPhone. Just let Pandora play what it plays. I can control volume by feeling for the buttons through my jacket. I ALWAYS turn it down low when I start dealing with heavy traffic.
