I also like to sing out loud while I'm riding, and get really serious about breathing. I ride a recumbent and I have a very laid back attitude about riding. I'm not into speed or racing, or even being efficient. I love to ride and I love music. I can walk and chew gum at the same time, too!
I really love this argument. It is so foolish. I have two good eyes too but I am not going to walk down a street with my eyes shut. So does that mean blind people should not walk the streets? You need to use every tool at your disposal to stay safe. Ears, eyes and brain.
