how does this work riding a bicycle? do you get a lot of air rushing in since it allows ambient noise in

Never rode a bicycle with it but I've ran with them and they're great. If u have the music semi loud you won't have much of an issue with noise seeping through.

I haven't notice, but since I've been riding in snow I've been wearing a hat under my helmet.

On long rides I play music and hear it just fine. I do not use earbuds and play my music through the speaker. Actually I had to turn it down a few times because the other riders would comment on my music selection. (I tend to listen to hard rock & metal when I exercise.)

I didn't have any problem with that-I used it Mongolia though, and it was not in a hot & humid environment. There is still plenty of airflow through it in spite of the pocket (which was where I had my rain gear-was riding on horses)

I have three of these on different bikes...I have never heard the noise you describe from any of them.

The few times I rode with it playing through the speaker and not an earpiece, I could hear the music fine when stopped and moving slowly, but once I pick up any speed the wind noise quickly drowns out the music. I can still hear it per say, but as could be expected it was muffled. For the most part I liked playing it like that because I could still hear the beat, without putting myself at risk by completely filling my ear with music while riding in slight traffic.

It does compress when you push on it. I ride for about 30 minutes on my stationary bike and it's OK.

If the bicycle helmet covers your ears you can give it a try, although you would have the wind problem, since it will hit the microphone directly and I believe will affect you conversations

It will not when you pedal. It will make that sound only when you just push the tricycle without actually pedaling..

I believe so, but what you should know is I used this for only about 8-10 miles at the most before the noise it makes at drove me nuts enough to put it back in the box. I needed to ride, but in the desert heat, with no air conditioning in the house, it just wasn't worth wearing earplugs on top of everything else I had to go through to ride. My advice is to buy the best and most quiet stationary bike stand on the market. Search bike shops for comparison, and hear and see them in action. Plan on spending $250 or so, but believe me - well worth every dollar!!

I go for bike rides with these on and I can say that the cord jostling around does not interrupt the music UNLESS you've got the cord rubbing along the edge of an undone zipper. Then it makes a LOT of noise. Just zip up your jacket and you should be fine.

Hardly noisy at all. It makes a soft "whirring" sound as the wheel spins and you turn the pedals. It's not loud enough to be distracting or drown out any other sound, so you can easily listen to music, watch TV/videos, or have a conversation at a normal speaking level while riding the bike. We have it sitting on an equipment mat (on hardwood) in an open loft area outside our master bedroom, and when the bedroom door is closed, you can't hear the bike at all. My husband and I are avid cyclists, and compared to our road bikes (which are not loud by any means), this stationary/spin bike is whisper-quiet. Hardly noisy at all.

Hard to say...it does get loud. It has never disappointed us, but we don't use it in that environment. Everyone who meets it, loves it. It might be awkward to use on a bike.

It is kind of noisy. I have it cooling a 4 wheeler. When going slow you can hear it pretty good. For a greenhouse you might find it too loud.

I find that the machine is pretty quiet as far as exercise equipment goes. My treadmill is much louder, and it's probably even quieter than my stationary bike.

ask the person who made them, I have no idea, do bike riders a favor and don't ride in the bike lane with an electric bike and get a muffler so we don't have to listen to the awful noise. Amazon needs to pay me for answering their questions.

The unit appears to do very well with any kind of background noise. I've been in bars with a band playing so loud I had cover my ears to hear my caller and they asked me why I was shouting! I have worn it and had conversations while on my bike with 20mph wind and city traffic and no complains about any noise. In fact they don't realize I'm on my bike. I've yet to peddle at 70 mph but if you can keep it in your ear the wind sound shouldn't be a problem. I left mine in a rental car and liked it so much I'm shopping for the exact replacement.

Unfortunately, I think this is somewhat normal. I had one bike that was really loud, and only got louder as the faster I peddled. Sent the bike back and the new bike also makes noise from the belt and drive train. I think this is normal and is poor quality of this sunny bike model.
