Music while you Ride?

never a truer word said. very insightful ed , as your hearings not great.

Sound can completely bounce of any hard flat surface, its totally deceptive and should never be relied upon. You can hear something coming from your rear left, when its actually your right just bouncing of a building.

See, while I'm not calling bullshit on that, I know how I use my hearing to ride and in tandem with my ears build up a 360 degree awareness that wouldn't be possible listening to music, unless you're an owl or possessed by Mammon* and can do a full rotation of the head. I find a glance over the shoulder ofen fails to give a clear view of what's coming up, but that may be to do with me wearing glasses.

Anyway, not a criticism, just expressing how I ride. It'll sound lame but I've DJed for years and you get very good at operating your ears independently, with one ear listening for the music queued, one ear listening to the music playing, and both trying to avoid the sound of the pissed twat asking for Shaka Demus and Pliers. I dunno, but I trust my ears and have yet to experience hearing something from my left and finding the source was on my right

*was trying to avoid the obvious Deamon names so looked 'em up on wiki. Do you know there's a deamon called Amy? When he got his name it must have been like the scene in Resevoir Dogs when Steve Buscemi found out he was Mr Pink
