    In fact, the sound of any bike tyre humming on the tarmac as you whip up the speed, with nothing else about to drown out the sound. Love it :D

    The sound of those Clements always reminded me of somebody tearing a gigantic length of cloth. :)

    Whilst riding the Gruyere cycle tour last year, a couple of hundred bikes going through a long tunnel at speed on the way out of Gstaad. Very quite tunnel blasting, I was almost emotional.

    The sound of your bones crunching as you fly over a car windscreen.

    Its our pleasure I'm sure, you got what you asked for 8) . I'm another for the sound of my tyres on smooth tarmac at speed. One sound I have heard but didn't like was the Bee that flew in through the vents on my helmet last "Summer". Ever seen a Cyclist rip his helmet off and start waving it around (phnarr)?

    If you want to do a 5 minute effort (exactly) try Sleep deprivation by Simian Mobile Disco.
