Question:

I asked the audiologist about wearing them while cycling, and he said there would be no problem. But most posts in this thread indicate that you do not wear them while riding.

I'm interested to know why you don't wear them while riding. Is it the sweat? Fear of losing them? They don't work well? Just don't need them..?

I'll be interested to hear your experiences.

(I'm doing a crit tomorrow, and might wear them during the warm up but remove them before the race itself.)
My old ones had too much wind noise when riding. I tried my new ones and they are fine with respect to noise but my sunglasses abd helmet push against them and make wearing hem while riding uncomfortable. I also don't really benefit from them while riding.
