ILTB - Oh. You still think Schmoe is liable for the accident, uh? I agree.
ILTB - Since no one has presented evidence that your earbuds impaired your operation of the bike, Schmoe is liable. While you can still pedal your bike, you do have an obligation to operate it safely and not commit bone headed moves that might place in you harm's way.
