Do any of you guys listen to music while riding? If so which device do you use MP3 player, walkman?

When I listen to my iPod while riding I just use one of the earbud headphones and I can hear my music and what is going on around me.
I listen to music when I ride by myself, but I only use one ear piece. I use my right ear for the music, and the left ear for the traffic, seems to work better that way.
I listen to all types of music while riding. I choose the genre to fit the workout. Easy music=Recovery
Fast music=Tempo
I use an MP3 player...Rio Cali 256

I find listening to music during biking dangerous. Maybe you road bikers can entertain yourselves with music but I've never seen a freerider listening to music, since so much concentration was put to doing tricks, etc.
I listen to my MP3 player that is also a radio for when I get bored on with the tracks in it. The good thing about a MP3 is it doesnt skip and is a lot smaller.
P.S For all the ppl who think you need to hear in order to ride, I saw a artical in bicycling mag years ago that talked about that. And in the end a person who was deaf pointed out that you dont need ears to ride a bike you can just keep looking around and pay attention.

I am now slightly safer onh the road. I used to listen to music at top volume, with both headphones in, and i was oblivious of what was happening around me, but now, i only wear the left headphone, not so loud, (pavement side) so i can hear the traffic.
I don't listen to music when I'm riding on roads or with someone, but sometimes do if I'm on my own on bike paths and find myself getting lonley.
I have it down fairly low so I can hear if people come up to overtake or are coming the other way. No use getting the s... scared out of me and crashing now is there?

i have become a big fan of trance/techno so thats pretty much all i listen to now when i am on the trainer
I always listen to music on the trainer unless I'm watching workout videos, but I could never listen to music on the road. There's just too much traffic - it wouldn't be safe. On a more stable mountain bike or running, I'd do it in a heartbeat, but not on my road bike.KeSs said:
