So today I rode 25km on my bike, and it was mostly because my ipod kept cranking out one good song after another. I find I love biking mostly to ska/pop-punky music, and definitely kick it up when I get some Daft Punk flowing.
I was inspired by a few songs today, so I figured I'd share them. Maybe you guys can suggest some new stuff to keep me going?
Less than Jake - Look what happened
The Aquabats - Super rad
LCD Sound system - Dance yourself clean
Modest Mouse - Dashboard
Balkan Beat Box - War again
The Bouncing Souls - Hopeless Romantic
Coheed and Cambria - The suffering
What are you listening to?

Nothing. When I'm outside on my bike on the roads I don't want to get run over or cause an accident.0

Got the Nike Run app... and when you start to hit the wall you can press the "Powersong" button which cuts off any music you are playing and kicks into your song.... no lie... it really spurs you on for that little bit longer..
My power song was "Crazy Horse" by Black Label Society! works a treat!!!!0 -

LOL music is a great tool it seems:
I start with this one for extra motivation on days when I don't feel like it but need to remember why I refuse to give up: "Time of Dying" - Three Days Grace (I think I will always have this one song included on every playlist)
Otherwise, my workout playlists are alternated with Heavy Metal Alternative songs that can directly be related to my previous life and the reasons why I'm so happy now to make, and have made, all these changes.0 -
Anything upbeat. Being a dancer I live and breathe music. Yesterday at the gym I had Beyonce on my Pandora and I was definitely singing and dancing, I'm sorry for anyone nearby me. Don't hate on me - but Call Me Maybe came on and I went all out! haha
Oh and "remember the name" I think it's called by Fort Minor - always helps me get through.0 -

That app sounds fantastic! There's a zombie app too, that makes your adrenaline rush for some extra power!0 -
This whole album is pretty upbeat - I play it when I'm doing the 30 Day Shred! The first song is good for warm up as it starts slow then gets into it. Then the album gets more upbeat as is goes along really
