i hope you're not implying that you listen to podcasts and music without headphones

I use bone conduction headphones because I'm sure nobody wants to listen to my weeb ass music

>>989361
whats wrong with that? its safer on a bike to not use headphones

>>989362
i dont think those fit in my ears
i have to use full on cans

>>989366
>commuting around town blaring your music and whatever nerdy podcast you listen to
haha holy shit anon please

>>989368
>nerdy

well excuse me if playing the BBC's world news podcast and enlightening the masses to news besides trump vs clinton is nerdy

>>989367

They don't go in your ears at all. They sit right on your cheekbones and vibrate noise into your skull.

It feels bizarre at first but works very well. You can easily hear road noise while also enjoying music and such.

>>989369
That's the most pathetic thing I've read all day

>>989372
That sounds insane anon how much is a pair

>>989372
>not doing the surgery to just permanently attache them inside your head
pussy

>>989381

About 30 bucks for ones that don't require a battery. Those have a rather low max volume, but are convenient if you're not riding in an area with too much ambient noise. Panasonic makes a decent, cheap pair.

>>989360

Right, cause you're really going to be able to hear a loudspeaker on a cellphone while either speeding down a trail or riding in the bike lane beside traffic.

You'll also end up destroying your phone eventually having it there.

Want maps? Get a proper bike computer like a Garmin.

Want music (or other media)? Wear a proper cycling jersey (mountain or road) that has pockets and use headphones so you don't destroy your phone.

Soooo, ta save battery on your smartphone you'd have to carry a Garmin as big an expensive as your phone, a media player as big and expensive as an emergency non-smartphone - and you think you're being clever?

Are you a bit daft m80?

I've been meaning to get one just to play Ingress

>>989360
I just have one ear in and my open ear towards the road. I have never not heard a car coming.

I don't see the big fucking deal.

>Garmin as big an expensive as your (smart) phone

>>989523
Don't you mean Pokemon Go?

>>989555
Yes? To get maps you need an 820, and those cost anywhere from €400-450 according to the local pricerunner. Again, are you a bit daft m80?
Never mind. You're just trying to save face at this point. And failing. Mom taught me not to kick autists that are already down.

>>989574
800 and 810 do maps chief. either one half of that price.

>>989498
Garmins sweet, strava segs are the best part about going for a spin.

>>989587
But those are old models aren't they? If you want to play that game then an older smarthone like the Nexus 5 is half too.

I like it for Strava, or I wanna use the map every once in a while. It was also really convenient for Post Mates.
Don't be a fucking retard.

You're the fucking retard.

You're fucking silly. This is why older cyclists suck.

>>989793
This.
>>989817
As long as you're spatially aware you should have no problem listening to music and biking in traffic safely. That being said I don't listen to music that often because I kill more ear buds than micheal Vic kills dogs
>>989818
Buy me a Garmin or stop complaining faggot

Safety isn't the only reason it's stupid.

Garmins are for faggots. Cateye master race.

I bungee cord a bluetooth speaker to my bars so i can listen to music but also hear stuff around me

my girlfriend is making me a leather case for it that will strap to my bars

makes riding with friends a lot more fun too

I just hate that when I'm riding my road bike it fucks with my aero gains

Don't mind the saddle position, the bolt was stripped at the time nd kept coming loose

Yesterday on my morning walk to get the tram to work, some dude casually cycled past me playing Frank Sinatra with loudspeakers.

>>990311
I wouldn't mind if bikefags and cagers alike blasted good music like Dvorak, Bill Evans, or Ride of the Valkeries for the lulz

hell I wouldn't even mind some Johnny lee hooker, Stevie ray, or Danny Kaye

but NOOOOO its always some Trap or Pop repetitive bullshit. And god forbid its fucking Metal. I love metal but it sounds like pure SHIT cause its always overblown through some shitty 4 inch speakers!!!

>>990326
I, too, resent the fact that different people like different things

...that kinda slays

I've been meaning to get one of these for playing Pokemon Go, but apparently bikes are too fast for the game.

>>990392
Yeah. They should raise the speed to 15mph at least. But that game gets old in like 20 minutes so it doesn't really matter

>>990429
Yeah it's pretty boring. I just want a Porygon and be done with it.
