oh hey thread i started half year ago!
unfortunately i have not purchased any speakers. i had been looking at the "Tommyca"...


from what i recall it had pretty good ratings, and it seemed like it fit the bill for me...had am/fm, lights on the front, good sound (relatively), didn't look that bad IMO, AND was a standalone player (was an MP3 player itself)

however i never got around to buying one, and now it looks impossible to find them anywhere to buy. hmmm oh well.



SOOOOOO does anyone have any recommendations for a STANDALONE SPEAKER/PLAYER? (bicycle specific obviously)

i say Standalone IE the speaker itself is an mp3 player, as opposed to speakers you connect your player into, because.....well my iphone is my ipod. BUT i use my iphone for Strava/mapmyride, and im afraid the battery life of the iphone wont last a full ride running both mapmyride AND Itunes. (i use mapmyride for health insurance purposes....my work has this "Vitality" plan where you get points for workouts either at a gym or using mapmyride, and points translate to cheaper insurance)
