Headphones While Riding....

[Bike Bunker]

This might be common sense..But i used to love riding my bike to my favourite songs made it a whole lot more emotional to ride lol...Untill a friend tells me its illegal and if u get pulled you will get done for it,
This got me thinking its only the same as having a car radio on right ? and if not im sure some bikers use ear plugs to cut outside noise down! ? HELP!

[weasley]

I wear in-ear, sound-reducing earphones to listen to my sat-nav. Plenty of companies sell gadgets that will link a phone, sat-nav and MP3 player together and feed it to earplugs. When I'm not using earphones I wear earplugs. Not aware it's a problem at all, after all you can drive if you're deaf.

I suggest you break out the golden oldies and ditch the thrash metal/superhardcoremaddancetechno for when you're riding, coz it REALLY makes a difference to your riding. Lot less likely to lose a license with something slow and melow!

(do as i say, not as i do )

Try riding listening to Beethoven 9th Symphony.
You'll be taken the corners in style... but there are times when it speeds up, so you can still get some fun out of it

I usually have my right ear phone in so I can still hear things through my left, used an mp3 on my bike since I started riding.

Don't like the idea of crashing and having a headphone rammed up my ear canal, but it is legal to use them whilst riding.

Nothing like a bit of RAGE! awesome music.

However, i did almost get run over by an ambulance because i didn't hear it coming behind me lol

use to love riding to music....fast pace i was like rossi and slow like my nan...times i nearly died [/list]

[pinkyfloyd]

I dont listen to music while riding. It would distract me too much. I'm reluctant to wear earplugs but now that I have a bigger bike I might invest in some.

[Kai.Wilson]

I got bored not listening to music...was usfull if anyone called as i could still talk to them

[pinkyfloyd]

[Kai.Wilson]

Lol. didnt that hurt having an MP3 player implated into your head?

[pinkyfloyd]

Not at all. It was a small price to pay to drown out the voices in my head. I learnt that not all their ideas were good
