bikes with soundsystems - great article in the nyt

who doesn't love the sounds of summer blasting from the back of a bike pedaling down the street? in richmond hills, queens, a group of kids has made this into their main activity.

Usually, the stereos crank out heavy Caribbean beats, but Mr. Ragbir cranked up the new system, which was playing a 1980s hit by the Outfield — “I Don’t Want to Lose Your Love Tonight” — and the near-deafening music had his friends bobbing their heads as they worked on their bikes.
