Music
I'm pretty new to riding and i was wondering if anyone listens to music while they ride. Does it just matter on where your riding?

I like hearing what is around me. I can't imagine listening to tunes while riding.

I was just a little unsure about coming around a blind corner and the only way you may know if someone is coming the other way is if you hear them. I'll give it a try.

I can't. I haven't found any ear buds that will fit comfortably in my ears and can't imagine riding with earphones covering my ears.

yeah i always rock music while im riding. Tried headphones but they always fall out and they also limit your ability to listen to whats going on around you. So now i just strap my phone to my backpack strap and put it on speaker and its just loud enough that i can hear it and rock out but not loud enough to bug other people or make it so i cant hear whats goin on around me.

Yea only when I'm alone, and only with 1 earbud on anything other than a no car ascent. I often turn off my music when I stop going up.

Yep - only by myself - which is most of the time.
