yep mainly when we go for a long ride, i find it helps me concentrate.
i find i tune it out when i need to concentrate.

i'll usually have a DJ mix playing.

fav at the moment is the latest pharmacy album - "EDIT: down with the sickness" (we are the roughest was the last one), mixed by hellraiser and proteus.

also love hard NRG anthems as well.

Not ANOTHER Backstreet Boys fan :wink:

As for the iPod, I've tried it once and found it incredibly hard to put the helmet on whilst keeping the headphones in properly.

When I finally got it together, wind noise cancelled out half of the song anyway whilst distracting me at the same time - won't be doing that again in a hurry because I think it just stressed me out. In fact, I think I herniated myself. In the solar plexus.
