Love My Bike Radio December 4, 2008
A. Ehl (OC, CA United States)
I decided to bike my 3mi commute to work and the only thing I missed about driving was the radio. I listen to news/talk radio (in LA/OC, KFI 640AM) in the mornings and sorely missed hearing the news on the morning ride. Since I'm not stupid enough to wear headphone while biking, this radio was the answer and has great AM reception to boot. It's also great that, like a car, it has odometer & spedometer readings. It also has station presets and is easily removable. Although it's now more expensive than it appears to have been a few years ago, it was well worth the price to liven up a monotonous ride. I'd recommend it for other commuters.
Quite nice July 10, 2008

PROs: Good radio, easily removable for nice portable radio
Cons: Minorwire was a bit short for my Downtube folder, which needs a long reach due to its small frontwheel (29" base to sensor) has bar mounts which will need spacers and speedo/odo not as easy to use as dedicated units.
All and all it is nice and very well made.

This item was purchased as a gift for my wife. It is easily mounted and instructions are pretty straight forward. The odometer, timer, speedo and radio work fantastic. This seems to be a well built unit and my wife enjoys it very much. Saw this item and compared it to others and am totally satisfied. The only thing that had to be done was to cut about 2" off a 1/2 rubber hose and slice it in half to to fit the anemic handle bars. The handle bar clamps were to big and did not tighten enough. The item arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
Good overall, some drawbacks May 26, 2007

I have owned this product for over 2 years now and am glad I purchased it. It helps to have music when biking long distances. My biggest concern with this product is that it chews through batteries pretty quickly. My other concern is that the radio stations come in pretty solidly in cities, but not so much when in the country. There is a switch on the bottom of the unit that does boost the signal if you're not right in a city, but it's sometimes not that strong. That said, I'm pretty satisfied with this product overall.

I have used this radio for the last 2 years, mostly in heavy salt environment
beach/marina and plenty of Florida rain... still works the same as new.
The digital tuning great, no drift. digital speedomter/odometer accepts 700
size for calibration and is remarkably accurate.
Quick release is a dream, secure but easy to release.
The sound on this unit is not very good in terms of volume.
It's very clear with new batteries but not loud enough when background noises
are present.
I am constantly adjusting the sensor/magnet alignment(a minor
inconvenience compared to usefullnes of features)
This unit could be alot louder. It could also use some upgrades like
earphone/ext.spkr. jack and ext.antenna option for remote use.
I am writing this review 2 years lateer because i'm actually purchasing another
one!
