Favourite noise whilst cycling

[Edwardoka]

My own singing. Although I don't imagine it's anyone else's favourite as I am atrocious.

(Don't judge me, sometimes the mood takes me)

 

[Berties]

the tick of a free wheeling Hope hub,such a great sound

 

[Levo-Lon]

I do a lot of thinking when on any bike..but the sound of the country side is the best sound in the world.
People having fun on mtbs makes me chuckle..big kids at the end of the day.
traffic is the worst..

Skylarks!

I lost hearing them for 10 years before getting an hearing aid some 5 or 6 years back. Now I hear them again.

so come on then what is your favourite noise whilst out cycling :

for me i like the sound of debris pinging from underneath my tubs when they are pumped up to 145 psi

My iPod

 

[Mandragora]

After 30 miles, the sound of the kettle being clicked on because my OH has seen me going past the end of the garden as I go to put my bike away and he's making me a cup of tea.

 

[Racing roadkill]

The loud bang of an exploding inner tube (as long as it isn't mine).

 

[jarlrmai]

good tarmac + wheels ++

 

[Arthur]

The first insect pinging against the polycarbonate of my glasses. It's the perfect indicator that summer's on the way,

 

[Mattonsea]

Blackbirds, Song Thrush and Chiff Chaffs

The last 2 sound like STDs

 

[Donger]

The swoosh, swoosh, swoosh sound behind you, made by other cyclists just about to overtake you ...... as you suddenly hang a random left and sneakily cheat them of their moment of superiority......... although it is sometimes soon followed by dogs barking or someone shouting "Get arfff moi laand!".

 

[palinurus]

The faint squeak of fresh snow under a lightly-knobbled 'cross tyre.

 

[Pale Rider]

I dunno about like, but what I dislike is the roar of the traffic after leaving a trail.

Back to reality.

The servos on the front mech with DI2.
