I just got my new (used) bike, and I’m also a big music nerd and love to listen to music when I’m traveling. Do you personally listen to music while you’re cycling, and in your opinion is it safe?

    Sometimes, using bone conduction earphones.

    Honeslty, I love the sounds of nature, so I don’t listen to music nearly as much on my bike as I would on an escooter.

      Used to work with a big cyclist, he always used bone conduction headphones as it still gives you full hearing. Bought a pair myself for skiing (Aftershokz Air - stupid name but great piece of kit!)

        Yes, full hearing, which is why they work so well while cycling. I even wear them while watching TV and I can still hear the ticking of a clock from the next room 😂

          I use them for everything, they’re my only headphones!
