The water bottle design does contain a speaker. It also contains a compartment that hold the "thin iPod" and batteries. So there is music coming from the bottle. The pdf that you can look at also shows a set of speakers mounted on the handle bars and a small remote control also on the handlebars. I know it is a personal issue but as a standard rule I do not recommend the listening to music/news/educational documentary or whatever when riding. Most of us need to concentrate on the cars or other riders and pot holes in the road (and sometimes small dogs and deer's). But to each his own. See you guy's and gal's riding the roads soon.

This was not the impression they gave me when they explained it. e stated that the sound came from the "bottle" itself. I was not sure how that ll worked. I think most of realize that this is really just a gift idea, and it would only e appropriate for certain occasions, and certain styles of riding. I have oticed on our A rides that there are those who listen to music so I know that iders of all levels listen while they ride. If this was a practical gift idea it just might make cycling a bit more cool for ur teenage set. Rick -- [email protected] wrote: The top of the "water bottle" contains the iPOD. There are no speakers on or n the bottle. The speakers are attached to the handlebars along with a optional emote control. Personally I like to listen to the sound of the ind,tires,traffic and all the other beautiful music that my bike and nature ffers. I can see some benefit of a music box for those commuting on really bad ays - just to keep from being reminded on just how bad it is while riding round. Having gone 10 years without a car years ago I was commuting 15 miles ach way to work and also training/racing. I normally do not advocate the use of istractions while riding your bike. But on days that there was ice/snow on the oads or really rainy days I would sometimes use music to help motivate me. I an contact them tomorrow and make sure they are available to bike stores. I ould guess that they should be available to any shop that wants to buy them for etail.
