A helmet is a must for the casual biker down to a messenger whipping through the city streets. iPods have penetrated our culture and entrenched themselves in everyday life, and cycling is no exception. With safety in mind, iHome designed a bicycle mounted dock that will eliminate the hazard of earbud wires, but maintain the quality of sound you’ve come to expect from them.

The IH85B Bike to Beach Speaker is a compact 9.4” x 3.2” cylinder style speaker that fits into most standard size water bottle holders. IH85B’s water-resistant polycarbonate case was designed to endure a variety of environments from the beach to a mountain trail.
You don’t have to limit the IH85B to a bicycle, it perfect for picnics, the poolside, and even the office.

Pushing the safety theme further, the IH85B comes with a handlebar mounted, circular wireless remote control. The remote eliminates the hazard of wires and can be operated with your thumb without ever taking your eyes off the road. Everything you will need for mounting is included, so no additional purchase is necessary.

Sound quality is normally sacrificed when transitioning from earbuds to speakers. Thanks to the Reson 8 speaker technology, the high fidelity and full sound of your songs will be heard loud and clear. An included AC adapter charges your iPod when connected. The IH85B also comes with a carrying case with shoulder strap for easy storage.

There is one major drawback to the speaker, and its compatibility. IH85B is not recommended for use with the iPod Shuffle, iPod Touch, or the iPhone. The dock will work with the iPod Mini, iPod Nano 1G/ 2G/ 3G/ and 4G, iPod Classic 4G/ 5G/ 5.5G/ and 6G. To eliminate docking issues, 3 adapters are included too.
