As far as I know around these parts its illegal to wear headphones while cycling or driving so on the road the only music I can get is in my head. At the gym I always used to(gave up the gym for a brandie new bike ) use headphones, because it can drive a body nuts listening to the whirr of the treadmills. At home on the trainer I listen to the radio.Voda48 said:Just curious, I usually never do when I am on the road, to many crazy ppl where I live that I would rather hear coming. WHen I am in the gym or training inside I do listen to music and I get used to it. Just wondering what the general populus does?
dont see a problem riding with music... i do it when im out by myself normally with just one peice in... i reckon i stay out a lot longer than i would without it...
just picking up something from an earlier thread about gadgets etc... i use a polar 520 and i never flick through it while riding... way too distracting as your not looking at the road but some tiny numbers on your bars... way more distracting than music...
I do listen to music when I ride. But I make sure I can hear the "click" of the rear hub and freewheel over the music. I figure if I can hear that (it's fairly soft) I'll be able to hear any traffic. It usually works out.
