You live a spoiled, self-centered existence, don't you?
As I already wrote in one of the previous posts in reply to YOU: "I despise them because in my book riding with headphones in traffic is equal to wearing a jersey that says "I am a moron" in big letters."
My existance is not up for discussion. Not on this forum & not with you
I would venture to say that most everyone here feels for any cyclist who gets killed on our roadways. How many of these cyclists were killed wearing headphones? Out of all the stories I've read about downed cyclists, I can only remember two that even mention headphones.
How many? More than their fair share on the road. You wanna bet?
On a similar note...
How sad do you really feel for cyclists killed while using headphones? You've said you despise them, which makes me think that your sadness would be rather insincere
I am sincere. I just feel less sorry for them as opposed to the cyclists that did everything feasibly possible to limit the risks but got killed by some freak accident. One can always make the case that headphone-cyclists "had it coming to them". You know what I mean?
