Haven’t tried AirPods specifically but transparency mode on sennheisers/shures is still much lower awareness than bone conduction. It’s good for not missing your bus stop but I wouldn’t cycle with them.

Kind of, but you lose the awareness of which direction things are coming from that you'd have if your ears weren't covered.
Transparency mode also does a good job of amplifying the wind and making what's playing on the phone inaudible.

Airpods have been the best for me, assuming you're an Apple user.
Also recently got some Aftershokz bone conduction earphones. Only run with them once and the sound quality is nothing to write home about, but having them not block out the rest of the world is nice.
