It reminds me of the Lexus IS commercial.

South Korea's got Seoul - and Seoul's got some cool ideas

This is just too cool. A great way to warn people ahead of you that you're there, and it would eliminate the people trapped in their iPod bubbles.
I hope something like this takes off.

"a Pavlovian take of musical fancy"

that would be way awesome. Not sure why it's specifically Seoul, unless they patent the design and nobody else builds one. The Flock would cause a cacophany... but a joyous one 
Seoul is very NY, though - SK culture would mandate that everybody get tricked out matching... I think they're called "kits"? That match their bikes and gear and everything. Like going hiking on the weekends (essentially their national sport), where everybody heads to the mountains in matching gortex gear from the trendiest outdoor store. Everybody wandering around on the paths looking like they stepped out of an REI catalog.
I highly recommend SK as a vacation destination - it's a crazy but friendly place.

There are a number of other musical roads (including one in South Korea) that cars can play, besides the one in that commercial. I suspect you wouldn't hear much on a bike though.
