Cyclists may be happy to hear that you can now get a decent iPod speaker for your bike. If nothing else, it could help ensure that less earphone-wearing cyclists end up under the rush-hour wheels of buses and cars.
iHome has launched the iHome2Go iH85B, a water-resistant iPod case that you attach to the bike frame and then control from some audio controls attached to the handlebars. It’s compatible with all iPods, apart from the Shuffle. It’s a bit bigger than a standard water bottle and because scumbag iPod thieves will think that’s just what it is, your iPod should be safer than most.
The wireless remote on the handlebars allows you to choose tracks and adjust volume. Key features:
Charges your iPod when connected to AC adaptor(included)
Works with docking iPod models
Reson8™ technology with passive speaker for full, rich sound
Mounted wireless RF remote control for safer control while biking
Comes with mounting bracket and all hardware
Bike mounted remote control for safe riding
Tough water and impact-resistant polycarbonate case
NOT compatible with iPod Shuffle.
The iH85B also doubles up as an iPod speaker dock for your home. Not a bad deal either at £40 here.-Martin Lynch
