CyFi, The Wireless Solution for Listening to You iPod on Your Bike
Well we always say that people will continue to make devices for uses that you didn't know you needed. Along comes the
CyFi, a wireless speaker system for your bike that allows you to listen to your iPod without having to have your ear buds in so you can hear the traffic around you. The design is actually pretty nice looking and they claim it easily hooks up to just about any frame out there. Not sure how well this would work in the city where there is a lot of noise, but out on the quieter roads this would probably be really nice. And since it is so small we doubt you will piss off pedestrians with the noise. Around our town there are a bunch of people that strap actual boomboxes to the front of their bikes and ride around, talk about annoying. The
CyFi should keep the music local to your small space.
Set to be released early next year for about 150 bucks, this should bring a smile to many bikers out there. Said to connect with iPods and the iPod nano, we aren't sure if this will work with all iPods or just the newer generations.

it works with other ipods, and was tested with the new nano at interbike this week in Vegas.
also it is named CyFi not ci-fi.
Great to hear about it working with the older iPods. That is good news. We might have to get one and put our old 3G to good use.
Also, thanks for the clarification on the name, not sure why we typed it like that, we will chalk it up to it being Friday. :)
Thanks again for the update.
