If another idiot whinges about cyclists listening to music i'll mutter something to myself

do you think deaf people should be allowed to drive or ride a bike? If so then why can't someone listening to music?

Edscoble is a good example of someone with limited hearin who is perfectly safe on a bike. There are many more idiots with fully working ears who are a danger to themselves.

+1.

I won't do it personally, although I used to, but I know people who I consider to be good riders, who do it. Personal choice. Although, I will not deny, I feel that it adds a further element of risk.
