Headphones while riding?

I agree wholeheartedly. Why should cyclists be denied the pleasure of listening to the local radio while travelling? And it does deaden those sudden noises which often scare the hell out of you. Me too. I use an ipod with some sony headphones. Found the apple earbuds a distraction because they fall out frequently. Also find I can hear traffic easily enough with them on. I take one ear out when riding in packs though, to be sociable as much as anything. I have also never seen any traffic rule prohibiting them and totally agree that there is no difference between this situation and a car with its stereo up loud (except a car occupant is less likely to be killed in an accident with a bike....)!! -- |

Headphones while riding?
Personally, I always wear headphones when I ride and I turn it up as
loud as I possibly can. So much, in fact, that riders passing me can probably hear it with ease. The reason I do it is that I'm a bit of a deafie and can't hear trucks, let alone cars, until they're right next to me and they give me an almighty fright. The sound of cars actually freaks me out more than the cars themselves. I agree with many - that if I'm going to be mowed down from behind, then I'm sure I'd be mowed down regardless of whether or not I'm listening to music. And besides, if I'm going to die, I might as well die doing something I love, and listening to good music. That's my 2c worth. -- |
