No music for riding
There won't be any music for riding. For the ride this morning I tried music without too much dynamic range. It was clear before I started that I wouldn't be able to listen to Glenn Gould playing piano, or The Planets, or King Crimson.
After only a few minutes out I realized however that only on steep climbs would I be able to hear the sounds as real music. For all the descents I'm lucky to hear some of the percussion. Even at my average speed of around 30 kph, there's no such thing as low notes. All subtleties are gone. Turning the volume up further would perhaps be bad for my hearing. Maybe I need to download some of the stories from that SF podcast blog Andy recommended.
