I don't see anything wrong with carrying a radio (a big NO to headphones though) I think it would be nice to have on my commute. Of course now I may not only tick off the drivers for riding a bike but for my taste in music as well I remember back in the late 70's early 80's they had these things called bone phones that went around your neck and hung down on your chest (sort of like a scarf would do) A guy I worked with at REI used to wear them in the warehouse and swore by them. you heard the music internally through vibrations in your bones but no one else could hear them and since you didn't have head phones on you could hear what was going on around you. I used to see them adverstised all over but not anymore. Maybe they caused all your teeth to rattle out of their sockets. If you could still find them that may be the answer.
