Should someone who is deaf in one ear be permitted to bicycle? How about someone who is deaf period? Yes? Why? Don't start with the you pay more attention or some other ****, being deaf doesn't give you eyes in the back of your head so if a deaf person can bicycle safely, so can anyone with earbuds in. I ride with them in almost every day, I can still hear sirens, wind, car horns, I just can't always hear what some jerk is yelling at me.
