Perhaps the biggest sin you can commit on a bike is wearing headphones. Unfortunately, I’m guilty as charged. It’s not something I’m particularly proud of, but listening to music is an essential aid to switching-off in the saddle and I’m convinced it speeds up my riding too.
There’s nothing like some good rhythms to get you to the top of a big hill and my favourite climbing tune at the moment is Jasper Forks River Flows In You (Alesso Remix), which sums-up the drama of the moment perfectly. Plus, everyone knows you can’t listen to slow-paced, lyrical music when doing sport.
What gets you going?
