The Audio Bike™ is the first speaker system designed to insert into the ends of the handle bars on your bicycle. It is compatible with almost any portable MP3 player or iPod©, and is easy to install. With no headphones or dangling wires, it is the safe way to enjoy your favorite music while you ride.

Surprisingly, there are very few states where it is against the law to ride while using headphones. Since the use of headphones covers the ear canals and limits you hearing your surroundings and oncoming traffic, a bicycle audio system, The Audio Bike, becomes necessary.

About AudioBike
K and I Enterprises, LLC manufacturers of the Audio Bike is dedicated to making the art of listening to your favorite music while cycling a safe and enjoyable experience.

K and I Enterprises, LLC was founded in 2009 and has over 70 years combined experience prototyping, developing, manufacturing and marketing products for other companies. We are excited to introduce our product that will change how cyclists around the world listen to their music while training or simply enjoying an afternoon bike ride. Our product developer, Kevin, an engineer and avid cyclist came up with the idea of putting the headphones not on your head where it becomes a safety issue for you and those around you, but in the handlebars.
Might be worth your time to look into this. Until today, I'd never seen such a system specifically made for bicycles.
