My advice:dumb idea



his advice = bad advice

Riding with headphones isn't for everybody, but for those who use them, they are a godsend. Music doesn't at all distract from the ride, they actually allow me to focus more completely. And whenever your wrist or knee or neck start aching, I just focus more on the music and the pain goes away. I don't think I'd ever have been able to ride yesterday's 1200 miles without them.

Oh...to answer your question...I use etymotics and love them!


I still would not use then for city riding.I know that its not not legal in the great state of Pennsylvania
