Commuting - Whistle while you ride

Actually, my bike was whistling in this northeaster that's moved in for an extended visit. The crosswinds have been playing a tune on the cable cutouts of my aerobars. Very eerie :eek: , reminiscent of a haunted house.

My front spokes have played tunes in high crosswinds.

I had a girl ride past me today and she was singing. I was standing at a bus stop and I could hear someone singing, she got closer and I realized it was her. I wish I had my bike so I could have talked to her.

I have a whistle built into the sternum strap on my pack. I know I'm going fast when I start to hear it...

Heh so so do I. :D

I sing on the bike all the time. Thierry Marie (IIRC) was out on one of those ridiculous breakaways in le Tour some ~15 (?) years ago, so far ahead that he was singing to the TV cameras. Since then it has seemed like a good idea. :D

i sing while i ride....like what im doing sometimes "my legs are really sore. im too far out to turn back. Oh crap didint see that pot hole"

If I could only figure out how to play guitar, piano, and ride bike at the same time. That would be cool. But I can't sing or whistle. I know my limitations. Anyone come up with a guitar handlebar mount that allows me to steer and play?

Not a problem!

I hum. Specifically, my helmet hums, if I turn my head to the side in a high wind. I have a small white blinkie attached to it with a elastic velcro strap, which tends to vibrate in a stiff cross-breeze.

Singing, now that's something that I do engage in on occasion. Especially in nice weather when I don't have to work too hard.

I don't know about guitar. Even if the bike held it for you, you still need both hands to play it, so you'd have to just balance, or maybe find a way to steer with your knees.

With a piano, you could mount a small one and play it with one hand!

My bike bell whistles if the wind/speed is right. I have it mounted upside down and slightly at an angle. Puts the press right where my thumb sits (sometimes I ring the bell when I put my hand on the grips with gloves on) and keeps it from prying eyes after having a couple of them broken or the top removed by kids.

I lost the plug from one of my bar ends, and it was at just the right angle to whistle when I got up to 17mph. Every time I went downhill, that bar end would start whistling.

My bike sings to me, too! There's a hole in the tip of the aerobars, that used to have a black plastic cap. Well, the cap fell off about a month ago, now anytime there's a crosswind, it plays tunes. :)
