Wearing headphones

what about non dbags?

nasty brutish and short:

thank you for ignoring everything else i wrote in that paragraph. :-D

I didn't ignore what you wrote (about being on dedicated cycle lanes far from other traffic, etc.), I just felt a burning desire to let you know what I'd do in a hypothetical world full of superfast juggernauts.

what about non dbags?

they ride non fixed

^^^ CONTROVERSIAL

i would tend to agree with shasta, it's just that (a) i'd probably turn music down to the point of not being that entertaining and (b) i don't have headphones

am0_on is a roadie?

So, I've decided the funniest song ever to come up random on my mp3 while riding home is "Speed" by 8Ball and MJG.

"I got the right of way (look out! look out!) you got to let me through (don't slow down)"

So if one day I'm not on the board, chekc the hospital k?

some of you guys are being a little reactionary.

I dunno if reactionary's the word - I just don't want to do anything that I feel could noticeably increase the chances of me dying. And I reckon NB&S has it pretty much spot on, though if you do want a response to the rest of your paragraph, yes, I have headphones on when I walk because I don't walk in heavy traffic :)

I do if I'm on dedicated, nowhere-near-a-road cycle paths.

I grudgingly find this acceptable.

But this wearing headphones while cycling is plainly insane... it will both make you less likely to hear things and distract you from the things you can see and hear. is otm.

I said the same thing less succinctly and more aggressively last week: http://forallmylittlewords.wordpress.com/2011/08/14/him-hes-a-cycle-path/

routine.

I am now converted to headphone wearing.

What converted you?

I TEND TO WHISTLE WHEN I CYCLE, DONT NEED NO HEADPHONES....THE SONG IS USUALLY REIGNITION BY BAD BRAINS.

longer training rides and rediscovering audiobooks (also the RinseFM app).

Singing whilst I ride is not unusual.

i whistle; the song is usually 'the baby elephant walk'.
