Looks like a great idea, you’d be able to listen to music in a group and still talk without having to take out your ear buds.

Yeah, it’ll work well on the country roads where we take our club rides.

Thank you for showing this I had heard about it on the Fredcast Podcast last year and forgot about it.
However it solves a big problem for me as some of my local rides are no longer allowing trailers in the rides and my club’s sound system is in a trailer, and on the roads of Texas you can not afford to ride with even one headphone bud.

Is there room in the compartment for a tube, CO2, patch kit and an Allen wrench?

would be a great item for a family group ride. I could see myself cruising the beach with some tunes! First I will have to get out os the smokies.

Great for the holiday rides, that I see everyone bring boom boxes to
April 18th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Looks like a nice, compact design. My question is: is there room left in the saddle bag for your repair / CO2 kit?

I like my ColdPlay. After ColdPlay comes some Sting, G&R, Leplin, ACDC, What is in your IPOD.
April 18th, 2008 at 9:14 am
I’d be playing Reel Big Fish while riding my Serotta because it’s fun and it’s fast.
My iPod also contains The Who, Ramones, Misfits, Brian Setzer Orch, Aquabats, Alan Parsons, Bowling for Soup, Jethro Tull, The Hooters, Michael Franti, OK Go, Patricia Barber, Smiths and Talking Heads. Sort of a boring-suburban-dad-who-thinks-he’s-keeping-up mix.

Looks cool. I like the idea of listening without blocking everything with ear buds.
April 18th, 2008 at 8:34 am
I want it! The music in my head often runs out before I crest some of these big hills around San Francisco. Certainly a better solution than the boom boxes lashed to cruiser frames like the little old Puerto Rican men do in New York.
Hope everyone within hearing will like my music choices!

I’d like to win the Cyclesound. However, since I’m your mother, everyone would think the drawing was rigged. I guess I’ll just have to buy one.
April 18th, 2008 at 8:38 am
I really think this product is great - it is so hard biking with a boombox
April 18th, 2008 at 8:39 am
oh and I live in Campbell CA - see comment above

That is one of the coolest things I have seen. I can just imagine riding down the road jamming out to some rock and roll

I can only imagine the shoot out with 25% of the riders playing conflicting music…and you thought it was sketchy now…

Hey Jason, just wait until I buy a BoB trailer and install a PA system.
April 18th, 2008 at 9:38 am
What a good idea for music on the go. sure beats headphones in the safety factor.

Let me first introduce myself, my name is Tron and I have been working with Del on the system for about three years now. Actually I build, play and test every single unit that sent out.
Well, I see there are a few people asking about storage. Lets see if I can supply a good answer.
There is some room in the back of the bag where the batteries go. I have fit a tube and levers in there, there is also a small pouch, for ID, money, credit cards. Another option is if you use the optional cable and put your player up front, that leaves the player location open to put a few small items.
We have several different mounting options available from under the seat to the entire unit mounted up front on your bars. Please check out our site for ideas, http://www.cyclesound.net
Thanks,
Tron

What a great way to add some pizzaz to interval training.

Great idea !
I’m tired of fooling around with those ear buds when I ride, or having the volume too high to compensate for wind noise.
This thing is just what the doctor ordered.
April 18th, 2008 at 11:26 am
very cool
April 18th, 2008 at 11:38 am
I was wondering when a product like this would begin to hit the market. Playing with the earbuds has become a problem on every ride! Thanks Cyclesound for coming up with a great product!
April 18th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Looks like a big sound system the likes of which has not yet been available. COOL!

I have always wondered why someone would pay $5000 or more for a bike, but not spend an extra $10.00 for some lube. Now I don’t have to wonder anymore. I’ll just put on my headphones and ride along with all the noisy drivetrains next to me.
April 18th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Oops. I didn’t read the description well enough. No headphone wires is even better.

Great idea. I have missed my music when I ride. I won’t use earbuds on the road. Maybe this would help me get up some of these hills….

April 18th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Looks great especially if you can fit all of your other stuff in there as well. I wonder if they will have a volume control that can be used up on your bars to adjust the sound as you go faster or slow down for traffic and stop signs?

Great Idea.
It would be good for those long lonely rides without ear buds. Tyler nice work on the site keep it up.
April 18th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Hmmmm… Could start a revolution cruising Speedway on Friday and Saturday nights. I wonder how well it would hold up on my mountain bike rides.
Great job with the site - Keep up the good work!
April 19th, 2008 at 4:56 am
More great prizes! Although my daughter wonders who would want to listen to her music on a ride. I had to assure her that wewould find something else to listen to. : )

@IllinoisFrank I had to do a Google search on those as I had not heard of those, but after looking into them, I don’t see why not.
The CycleSound uses a standard 3.5mm jack, so as long as you remember to unplug it before you get off your bike, sure.
April 19th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Tyler, you’re a star! Love the video and the CycleSound system.
April 19th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Sounds like a great idea without having to worry about keeping a wire wrapped up through your shirt into your ears. It would help on those lonely days up Mt. Lemmon.

Looks like (sounds like) a great product. Can’t wait to try it out. Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkeries” will let them know I’m coming on my next downhill run.

Let try this again with my city and state… hehe
Can’t wait to give this thing a try on our long Sunday rides.

It just occurred to me that this would be a great gift for my son. With the weather improving, he will be riding his bike to school. The CycleSound will allow him to listen to his music (critical to a HS student) while riding without ear buds.

i think its a great premise now everyone behind you will want to keep up so they have tunes.

April 25th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
rock on!!!
May 13th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Cool I’d use it on some of my rides for sure!
May 14th, 2008 at 7:33 am
Frank how about books on tape on the ride
