Bicycles, the new iBikeMount for iPod and listening responsibly

Here’s another new product designed to fit the on the go iPod lifestyle. The iBikeMount, announced yesterday by Strata Systems, is priced at $30 and should be available on March 15.

The iBikeMount, said Strata Systems, is specifically designed for the ultra thin iPod nano. It secures the iPod to the handlebars of bicycles, exercise machines and strollers for a convenient means of hands-free access. No tools are reportedly required to attach the iBikeMount and the device weighs a lightweight 1.4 ounces.

One side note regarding this product: its release comes at the same time as news from London gets out regarding a woman who was killed while riding her bicycle and listening to her iPod . She was hit by a truck she could not reportedly hear because she had on headphones. It goes without saying that you should always pay attention to your surroundings when using any portable entertainment device for your safety and the safety of others. This is also emphasized at the iBikeMount website .
