I hope the rider is OK, I saw a near miss this morning and it makes my belly drop out of time and space.
...and it's not just the sound of traffic you need to hear - what about your bike? Or an emergency siren? Or a hot girl shouting out your name? In the city it's totally pointless to switch off one of your senses when it's crazy enough on those roads some days. Besides, I love the sound of my tires on tarmac too much.
