Suggest to me some music that I can load on my iPod when I go ride my bike. Up tempo and a good beat, other than that I am open. ---

I like the [Podrunner](http://www.djsteveboy.com/mixes.html) mixes. Listenable enough without being distracting. Isn’t it hazardous to ride wearing earphones? Or are you riding somewhere where cars are not an issue? ---

Or are you riding somewhere where cars are not an issue? I’ll check out podrunner. As far as riding goes either I only wear one headphone (legal) or ride on a bike path. ---

> [@The\_wind\_of\_my\_soul](#): > > 1st Runner-Up: “Thunderstruck” AC/DC I made up a “Running Playlist” for my iPhone a few months back. It has a fair amount of AC/DC, including that one. Other bands which appear on it a lot (warning: I listen to old stuff 😉 ): - Foreigner - Led Zeppelin - Billy Squier - Journey - Styx - Pretenders - Queen - Cheap Trick - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers All of the specific songs are faster / upbeat, and tend to be loud. ---

[Girltalk](http://www.illegal-art.net/allday/) He is a pioneer mashup artist. In other words, his songs are all tidbits of classic beats and radio pop mixed with hip-hop. Very well done, easy flow, and constantly changing. Best part is you can pay-what-you-want for his albums. So download for free and pay later if you like it. ---

If you’re truly open-minded, I recommend Mystikal’s “Here I Go” as a song to get you pumped for a workout. Yes, it’s vulgar and irreverent, but it will make you want to kill a man. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOqjyuqYsTQ) ---
