Music while you ride!
Here's an idea to modify your bike for entertainment purposes, but at least people would hear you coming. Not a very popular thing to do I imagine.

You may as well stay home and having the benefit of using a P3/Grado Gold on Mission speakers
Aside from personal preferences, I cannot understand why people wants to make themselves less aware of what goes on around them? You're never alone on the road, or if it happens it's not for long. Be aware, keep the ears open for oncoming traffic.

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best,
since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.
Thus you remember them as they actually are...

Agree.

Surely they'd have to all play the same song and sync it very well, otherwise no one would be able to hear anything clearly????
Anyhoo, having suffered the joys of doing a HSBC City ride and getting stuck behind the bloke with the music trailer I'd rather listen to nature/traffic/my own thoughts/etc.

Brilliant, it's a yoof thing, it's not intended to make them popular with anyone other than their peers and the opposite sex.
But as rebellions go, it's a pretty good one, the skills involved with building such systems and the engineering that goes with adapting them to fit are well worth having, and an appreciation of what can be done with a bike is a good thing. And at least no one will be asking where their bell is!
Moaning about noisy youth isn't anything new, even if they ways they devise to be noisy is.

Cycling-of course, but it is far better on a Gillott
We love safety cameras, we hate bullies

the worst are those tapping away on their mobile while they have ear plugs in their lugholes, not in this world any more and maybe soon in the next Living in London the few times I go on the buses/tubes/trains seems to be populated by zombies
