With that said, I will throw in my slice of spam.
Plenty of folks ride listening to music; not for me but to each their own. I would hope though that those who do do not crank up the volume to drown out the road noise. Would seem like a great shortcut to Deafsville.
I personally avoid it not so much for the noise level but because I know it is distracting. I know the type of music and the volume you listen to it has a direct impact on how you drive a car. The faster and/or louder the music the more likely you are to drive fast/aggresive. Personally I don’t need that kind of distraction while on a bike. I know some folks who cannot ride without their iPod going. Seems to me like they are missing something :shrug:
