Thanks, Gary. This was not the impression they gave me when they explained it. He stated that the sound came from the "bottle" itself. I was not sure how that all worked.
I think most of realize that this is really just a gift idea, and it would only be appropriate for certain occasions, and certain styles of riding. I have noticed on our A rides that there are those who listen to music so I know that riders of all levels listen while they ride. If this was a practical gift idea it just might make cycling a bit more cool for our teenage set. Rick -- [email protected] wrote: > > The top of the "water bottle" contains the iPOD.
