16 posts in to get an anti music comment. Better than usual I guess.

Let's repeat what he said, lit up like UFO, mirrors everywhere and no traffic and I'm going to guess he's not a clueless teenager. Some people would recommend against music on a trainer I think.

As for me, I shuffle it up and ride under similar conditions to yours. At times it is absolutely performance enhancing.
