I haven’t been into riding bikes since I was like 10. There are lots of people in my area though that are really into riding bikes. I always wonder how safe it is to ride a bike in a city while wearing an MP3 player that blocks your hearing. After all, they wouldn’t be able to hear all the rednecks shouting profanities at them.

A company from Taiwan has a new MP3 player designed for portability and use without headphones called the Podio. The device is fully integrated into an 88mm long cylinder-shaped micro speaker. The music player portion of the device has 2GB of internal storage.

Tucked inside the case with the memory is a MicroAmp and a full range driver for quality sound. The device can also be hooked to your bike handlebars. Download some nice motorcycle sound effects and you can cruise on your bike pretending you are on a Harley.
