not a clueless teenager. Some people would recommend against music on a trainer I think.
As for me, I shuffle it up and ride under similar conditions to yours. At times it is absolutely performance enhancing.
I should be a bit more clear on my ride - once I get out of town (on a back street with 3 intersections that don't have signals in my direction), I have exactly three intersections. The only way to get hit is either oncoming or being rear ended - mirrors take care of the latter, and I can eyeball the former...Is it more dangerous? Yeah, probably. But, that said, I think I'll stick with it.
ETA: were I still living and riding in Indy, you'd better believe that I'd never wear anything that would inhibit any of my senses - way too many dangers, from cars to dogs to pedestrians.
