Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

Weight room -- anything metal. Running -- anything around 160 bpm or I start to stumble. On the bike -- podcasts, usually.

There's a bunch of stuff bouncing around in my head anyway, so if I'm not listening to a source of music, it doesn't matter much.

I have been giving this question some more thought and it occurs to me that Stockhausen composed some great workout music but probably the all time best tune for working out, whether inside or out, is John Cage's piece entitled 4'33". Here is an excellent performance of it:

I don't know about you guys but I already started my Christmas playlist.

Most of the music is slow but I don't pedal to the beat anyways. I play music for the endorphin release and that should help boost performance.

Didn't Phillip Glass do an arrangement of this for cello?

Anything as long as it's loud. It helps drown out the voices in my head...

The Mars Volta, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, it just depends on what mood I am in.

Sometimes John Coltrane or Miles Davis.

Clutch is my favorite music on the road. In the gym I need faster music..... Slipknot kicks my ass on the spinning bikes.

Nothing or I'm watching TV.

I listen to metal at work only to block out all other noises. I also have every "Weird Al" cd, that I usually listen to in the car.

I have the luxury of rocking out with my own band for hours every week. Playing the drums is a good workout. On the bike or lifting weights I do not listen to music.

The music @ https://tsururadio.com of course. I don't need "beats" to pedal to or fast music to hammer to, I just need music I enjoy.

You shouldn't be listening to music while riding on the road. It's dangerous and you miss all of what mother nature has to offer. I'm out there to enjoy the outdoors. Not mute it with man-made sounds. See, I'm a hippie and I hug trees and smoke weird stuff and only eat nuts and berries like a little woodland creature. My jerseys and shorts are made of hemp and have peace symbols all over them.

Nothing but wind noise on the bike when outdoors. I recently discovered Pandora and now have a "The Black Crowes" station on my Palm Pre. This is great for the gym and the indoor trainer.

Had a recent departure from my usual metal/rock playlists and have been digging some Cut Chemist and the like.

Not only do these headphones drown out straight-pipe Harleys and neighbors who copulate with their windows open, they also drown out people who won't shut up about how unsafe it is to listen to music while on the road.
