Do you ride with headphones in ?
Discussion
Not something I would ever do on the road, I rely too much on my hearing but seen loads of other cyclists with headphones in.
Not judging as appreciate its different for all and there are functions like pass through and whatever.
Just wondering how you manage, whether you have had any issues or its fine ?

I ride off road but have a set of the aftershocks Aeropex bone conducting headphones so you can still hear the outside world.
Yes the sound quality is never going to be as good as a proper set of high quality ear phones but there more than good enough.

Got some of these a couple of weeks ago........ Am using them at night on very quiet dark country lanes with no cars...... have to say after a few days, I'm quite impressed........... Not the best sound with wind noise too but work better than I had though they would.......Still not sure I'd wear them in busy traffic in the daytime, but work just fine for what I use them for on night rides.
Have worn them on a few runs too and much better as no wind noise !

Poke one eye out and chop an arm off while you’re at it, you’d still be able to see and have a wk.Muppet.

He’s kind of right though, I know a few partially or fully deaf cyclists who ride without hearing aids and I’ve ridden with one or two. They were no safer/more dangerous than anyone else I’ve ridden with.
Being deaf, and being distracted aren’t the same thing. Deaf people adapt, people who aren’t deaf and use headphones riding a bike on the road are organ donors in waiting. Absolute bell ends, they play silly games, they win silly prizes.Gassing Station | Pedal Powered | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
