If you enjoy going on long bike rides, then you probably bring your iPod or MP3 player along for the ride. The problem with that is the headphones could get tangled up and that could become dangerous. Until now, I can’t really think of any MP3 players specifically designed for bicyclists, except for the new Podio.
The Podio has two main features that makes it stand out, one being it can attach to any sized handlebars, and the other being a built-in speaker on the device itself. I’m not sure if it has a normal headphone jack, but I’m sure it would. In addition, it comes with a 20 hour battery life, so the Podio won’t die on any bike ride, and it comes with 2GB of storage space. 2GB isn’t a whole lot of space, but it’s decent enough. I wouldn’t purchase this MP3 player to become your main portable music device, but I would purchase it if I biked for long periods of time by myself.
Unfortunately, no word on pricing or availability at this time.
