Indie Albums To Cycle To.

I've talked before about my love for cycling, it certainly being the most indie of all transport methods. There are sadly some down sides to cycling, namely the danger (at least in Dublin there is) constantly having to listen for cars, sirens and buses is actually a lot of work, so i generally try to dull out the sense completely with the help of some great cycle-friendly albums.

The Go Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike



This album is likly either to shave a good 10 mins off your trip or have you "cycle-dance" your way into a car, having experienced both potabilities while listening to this album the second option is preferable, that way is makes is more likely you'll get to hear the full album before you

Hawksley Workman - (Last Night We Were) The Delicious Wolves



This album is just great fun and thus makes cycling more fun. Sadly the cover doesn't really reflect the music very well but you know what they say, never judge a book by it's movie.
Jealous of your cigarette is particularly good fun, and here's the video for it:



I'm From Barcelona - Let Me Introduce My Friends



This album can turn your dull grey commute into a happy-clappy trip through the country. this does have some side effect, usually by the 3rd song you start to look at pedestrians with less disdain. Often thinking of them as the best friend you haven't met yet... this produces a dangerous feeling that can result in slowing down for or giving right of way to pedestrians.

I hope these albums help you avoid the annoyances that come with cycles, like having to watch where your going, listen for on-coming traffic and of course not having a steady beat to dance to while on your bike.
