Conspicuous Idiocy in Motion
About the only time I see a serious bicycle sound-system scenario is during Homie fall fest. Grayboy and SnakkyP and the rest of the estimable Surly gang have been known to rig up their Fat Dummies with all manner of woofers, tweeters, and wine mulling paraphernalia for the general betterment of all mankind. Although I think music has kinda sucked for about 20 years now, and can generally do without it. Let's say the pleasures of the bicycle, and good company, and strong liquor are sufficient for the day.
Anyway, over here we see examples of all sorts of improvised sound systems for bicycles like this dude.
I have to admit I've never fully understood the compulsion to be DJ for the Soundtrack of Life for everyone within earshot. I suppose the same thing is true of the dudes who drive around in their GTO's with trunk-based sound systems that shake the loose fillings out of all the strolling dowagers inching their way with tennis-balled walkers around Lake Calhoun. I mean seriously, what is the point? And bike systems almost universally tend to sound bad and look even worse.
I admit, though, that I've grown a little attached to my own sound system for those long, fat, slow solo rides in the spring. But my system is a little less -- uh -- cumbersome.

This is a call to everyone to please step outside the right vs. left paradigm. While there are important issues worth debating within this paradigm, all of them will be moot if we do not focus on a much greater issue outside this paradigm. Thomas Jefferson warned of wealth concentrating to such an extent that it threatened the state. Nowadays the media has taught us all very well to ridicule anyone who talks of central banks usurping the power of government. Well now I suppose the media will have to laugh at themselves, as many outlets from Newsweek to the Financial Times of London are openly discussing the creation of a "bank of the world" that will control economic policies of every nation. I invite you to watch this video, which details how this is currently taking place. While it focuses on our current officials' cooperation with these plans, it steps out of the typical political paradigm by highlighting the cooperation of both parties. Please do not look to politicians to protect us. Only we can protect us. And our first step must be to reach out to police and military. Without their cooperation, the global elite won't have the muscle to exercise their will of oppression. Please share this oath-keepers blog with them.
