I find a radio or music distracting while riding.

I do listen to the radio while driving or occasionally while running though.

I commute to and from work, so in the morning the only thing on the radio are the laughing hyenas of morning radio. Listening to these jokers would be too much like torture. I just can't do it.

I guess I just prefer the quiet. I think maybe I am overstimulated, or possibly I am just turning into a cranky old guy.
