@ thirdgenbird I agree that everything has its risks. I think the safety issue at hand is cyclists need their hearing more than anything. If their hearing is reduced is your safety? I am afraid to see people start saying accidents are the cyclists faults because they cant "hear". It's bad enough they are already saying cyclists are running into them, etc.

Again, I am not passing judgement on anyone who wears earbuds when they ride. I was just surprised to see so many wearing them now.
