Pimp your Bike: Wireless iPod Speaker
One downside of riding a bike is the lack of a stereo. Sure, you’ve got your iPod, but it’s not quite the same.
There’s nothing quite like blasting some tunes in the summer with the windows open, and yes, I know that’s not the most eco-friendly thing to, but sometimes you just can’t help it!
Well now us bikers can take part too. Meet cy-fi, the world’s first wireless bicycle iPod speaker. The system is only about 3 ounces, and broadcasts to wireless speaker (1 included) that mounts to almost any frame.
I thought it interesting that they mentioned the system supports up to 4 speakers through “multipoint broadcasting”. Could this mean surround-sound on your bike? We can only guess at this point.
This is a pretty sweet way to pump the tunes on your bike, but I’d really like to see a way to power the iPod through something like peddle power or solar. The company website reports the device only has a battery life of about 6 hours.
You can pre-order this for $149.95 from mycyfi.com.
