It's bad enough on rides like RAGBRAI when there's one or two riders a day with boom-box trailers because inevitably they play the same songs and listening to "All Summer Long" every flipping day, multiple times a day, for a week is maddening and ...
I digress.

If this product (http://www.bikerumor.com/2013/04/10/scosche-boombottle-now-available-brings-beats-to-your-bottle-cage/) takes off, your Saturday morning Tour de Town could become noise polluted. Imagine that you're winding up for the city-limit-sign sprint and suddenly you hear ... "Orinoco Flow"
Be warned.

Dude, every ride can now be epic....
I'd ride around with this song playing on repeat.

Not exactly a new invention, is it?

Also the motion picture "Apocalypse now" contained some footage of a few gentlemen who enjoyed mobility accompanied by a soundtrack.

It's the hipster-tastic promotional video that most annoys me. That insidious subversive that threatens to undermine everything we hold dear.

If I had one of those I'd play this:

Nothing is going to mess with a roadie's chi more than pop filth.

Did RAGBRAi for the forst and only time last year, among one of the annoyances is public music on bikes.
Although I did ride with some guys for a few miles who were blasting Butt Hole Surfers. And I gladly sang along at the top of my lungs (home town band, had to).

If anyone is going this year drop me a line. Sounds like it is passing near my house.
