I find listening to music while riding a pretty interesting topic. I personally don't do it for the safety reasons and because I like "hearing" my bike. On the roads it obviously poses a few dangers in that you cannot hear vehicles and the like. The same applies to a certain extent on the trails. I was behind someone the other day who was clearly oblivious to my presence as a result of having head phones in.

EDIT: If I did it would probably be some proper "old school" rock music like Metallica. I also just noted this is in the gravity section so it might be different for you guys

only hazardous on the trails if you're slow

haha! But yeah, when I commute to work I ride with 1 earphone in, the left,  so I can have my right ear free to listen for cars.

On the trails I usually use both or nothing.

As for the type of music... here's some bands on my playlist

• Biffy Clyro
  
• Queens of the Stone Age
  
• Them Crooked Vultures
  
• Sum 41
  
• AFI
  
• Sam Champion
  
• Kasabian
  
• Alice in Videoland (Just the one song off Follow Me)
  
• Zuku
  
• Arctic Monkeys
  
• Billy Talent
  
• Deviates
  
• Dropkick Murphys
  
• Nine Black Alps
  
• Foo Fighters
  
• NOFX
  
• Pennywise
  
• Saves the Day
  
• Rage Against the Machine
  
• The Bronx (the song Inveigh really gets me amped)
  
• Wolfmother

So yeah, I have selected songs from those bands (and more) on my iPod, as my "riding music". For DH runs though... NO MUSIC! You need all your wits about you.

But if you really want to feel like a winner... Listen to Eye of the Tiger

[King--piN]

AN awesome band called Rise Against, and Indie rock
