Listening to music whilst riding?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Groundhog day.
Before the innernet, and when everyone actually talked face to face, we had the same discussion regarding those newfangled Sony Walkmans.

Actually I meant you said people need to have BOTH ears uncovered but your real complaint is with those that have both COVERED. You notice them because they don't hear you, but that doesn't mean that the people that have only one covered can't hear traffic/you/whatever, you just don't notice them because they are not a problem.
