Walkie-Talkie system for cyclists
Hello,
My wife and I have just got into cycling but we are finding it quite lonely as, unless we are cycling right next to each other, we cannot hear each other talk. Does anybody know of a walkie-talkie type system (with earpieces etc) that we could use on our bikes (we are UK based) - similar to what I believe motorcyclists use. I've had a search around but can't find anything specifically for cyclists. Thank you, Kroma |

it quite lonely as, unless we are cycling right next to each other, we cannot hear each other talk. =v= My bike group has had great success with Motorola walkie- talkies. They're lightweight, work well, and the newer models look very cool. I see from their website that they're sold in the U.K. =v= In the U.S. we had a system called Nextel, with cellphones that had walkie-talkie features. My group used these for a while, as did many small bike messenger businesses. We had some trouble with the service, so reverted to having separate cellphones and walkie-talkies. It's a good idea, though. Isn't that a good thing? =v= Maybe for *your* wife. _Jym_ |

I'm hearing the commentators on the Giro talk about radio communication with riders, but apart from an occasional suspicious square bulge in the back of a jersey, I don't know any details.

Thank you, Kroma Hi there. I use a vfoice-activated radio or walkie talkie when riding with friends on the road. Ours have a boom mike and an ear bud that can be worn behind th ear. You should be able to find something in an audio store or perhaps an office supply shop. Cheers from Peter |
