What is a Bicycle Radio?
A bicycle radio is a battery operated AM/FM tuner made to mount to the handlebars of your favorite cycle. With its built-in speaker, it allows the rider to listen to his or her favorite stations while pedaling along the boardwalk, pushing through trails, or riding along the avenues. Though portable audio players with headphones are great for walking or jogging, earbuds can be unsafe for cycling. It is important to be able to hear pedestrians, other cyclists, and traffic, especially when moving along at a fair speed. A bicycle radio provides a built-in speaker that delivers music or talk radio without blocking out environmental noise. The handlebar mount also makes for one less thing to carry. A bicycle radio can come in a variety of models with differing features. Nicer models have the ability to choose 10 or more preset stations for easy forwarding through your favorite disk jockeys. A bicycle radio can also sport handy features such as a built-in clock, speedometer and trip odometer.
