NEVER!! NEVER!! NEVER!!
When I'm on the road (which is 98% of the time) I want to hear everything around me, whether it is a very quiet rice rocket behind me, another cyclist trying to pass me, or just the wind.
Safety is my top priority when riding!
Music and news is for times when I'm not focused on something as important as staying alive while trying to share the road with the "non-cycling public".
