    Interesting idea - but music is a little distracting on a bike. Plus imagine if the buttons are in just the wrong place - every time you brake the volume goes up etc. Would be hard to make a glove that suited every situation.

    I've got some gloves that do that. Twist downwards for more volume, it'll even turn surround sound on if you're in a building or tunnel.

    Ditch the music.

    Concentrate on what you're doing.

    All well and good, but what happens when you want to play the other side of the cassette?
