"I really don't understand people that road ride with an iPod. Out in the corn and soybean fields, with the wind in your ears, the sense of hearing is really important in bike safety, especially when riding in a group. I can understand using an iPod in one ear when riding on a MUP, but the road? In my riding group we call them 'future organ donors' when we see them out riding - sad to see this sick joke come true."

No sorrow here. Many, many times on this board this topic comes up with the racer boys or the
foolhardy young shouting down more mature reason so that they can be "fashionable" to pander
to peer acceptance and ride with both ears plugged with ear buds. Bull *****!!!!!

Mature reason has posted many times how to mount/wire speakers on a bike to leave the ears
free of earbuds that act as ear plugs!!!!!!

Nope, no sorrow here.
