Road Cycling “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, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Buckle Down - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Basically, any song with an easy-to-remember singalong chorus.

Songs? Never tried music. I watch my favorite old TV shows on dvd.
Right now it's BattleStar Galactica (the new one). It's cool, 45 minutes
is about how long I want to do it anyway.

How about Bocelli's Por Ti Volare, I bet it's not in the top ten. Listening to it makes you feel like your riding through Tuscany.

Any of my top trance favs. Some highlights of which are:

Dave202 - Generate the Wave (Original Mix)
Sonorous - Protonic (Leama & Moor Remix)
Ferry Corsten - Junk (Flashover Remix)

or Armin van Buurens weekly radio show "A State of Trance"
