Words of Clarification and Caution
When we say "bike" or "biking", we are usually referring to exercising on a stationary bicycle, a kinetic trainer, or rollers.
Also, we advise all cyclists who want to bike to the beat of their music to do it on an indoor or patio system. Open road or trail biking to music can be dangerous as the music may distract the rider or mask warning sounds of danger.
Let's make a BPM cycling playlist:
First calculate your own workout pace in beats-per-minute (= pedal strokes per minute). We provide sample pace tracks with instructions to help you do this.
Once you know your cycling pace, select your tunes from our Tunes list by browsing or using the search fields. The BPM field will help you the most. Click on the links to Rhapsody to listen and download the tunes to music player on your computer. Then make a playlist in your music player and place the tunes in the playlist in whatever order you prefer for your workout session.
Finally, sync your player with your computer's music program and you're up and running. Here's a sample workout sequence to help you out:

How to Make a Personal Playlist for Cycling to the Beat
Many cyclists who work out on
stationary bikes and kinetic
trainers like to pedal to music.
Spinners, Power Pacers, and
other studio cyclists are provided
with pre-packaged music during
their formal sessions. But,
when you're on your own, you
might yearn for some tunes by
your favorite artists with tempos
that match your pedal cadence
range.
