This for a start, also learn your senses man. The big 5 are just that, 5. there are many more.
On the debate, what about ICE, CB radio? Bluetooth headset for the motorcyclist? Do blind people ride bikes? Do deaf peope?
Earphones cause a lot of wind noise and headphones blow off, get bumoed off. Thats more of a hinderence to the experience then safety.
Do you hear a near miss or feel it/see it? I will ride with earphones, I will commute with them but I'm a bit bummy atm so I leave it for now.
