| Re: Ride with music or not?
My two cents worth - headphones are a very bad idea for all
the reasons already stated.
As others have mentioned, if you want to listen to music, use
a device with an external speaker at a moderate level so you
can still hear all the traffic sounds.
I sometimes listen to music while riding alone on country
roads. I just throw a radio in my handlebar bag. I did find
that I needed one large enough to generate sufficient volume
to hear well, and that a digital display with a frequency lock
was helpful in preventing station drift due to the vibrations
from the bike.
