Honestly, I think a differentiation between wearing 1 earbud and 2 earbud should be made in this discussion. Those of you who say that riding with earbuds (I'm assuming that you mean in both ears due to the use of the plural) : are you referring to those who wear them in both ears, or are you including those who only wear them in one ear in your generalizations? Not trying to provoke anything; this is a legitimate question for this discussion.
