Roadnoise launch a hi-vis vest with built in tunes

Riding around listening to some tunes can be very nice. But many people don't like to lose the clues to what's going on around them that come from hearing.  This hi-vis vest from Roadnoise has speakers built in so you can have both music and hearing. 

Intended to be used for both running and cycling, the Roadnoise Long Haul features amplified speakers that sit right below, not in your ears. This should mean that you can hear traffic more clearly although it will still limit your hearing.

The vest comes with USB rechargeable amplifier/volume controls for ease of use. The volume control sits in a pouch with a short cable. With a longer cable and some clever hacking, you could probably mount it to your bars. 

You'll need to save up though, this one here is just shy of £100 plus shipping.

The best commuting bikes and kit

Now obviously, you'll have to be selective with your music choices whilst riding around town. Not everyone loves The Spice Girls as much as you.
