Hi Folks,

So, what music do people listen to while cycling? I was
just listening to four Rossini overtures yesterday, William Tell, The
Silken Ladder, The Thieving Magpie and The Barber of Seville and I
thought I'd start this thread. I also like the last Dylan album and
JJ Cale/Eric Clapton latest as well. Anybody else?

IMHO it's unsafe to be riding with headphones or earbuds, so I don't do
it. (In my state it is legal for cyclists to ride with only one earbud
or earphone, but not two). I also find that it disconnects me from the
world around me and that's not why I am riding a bike.

I "listen" to music internally. I have good auditory recall and can
"play" entire records from memory while I am riding.

And you don't think this is less unsafe nor disconnects you from the world
around you any less?

I'm not trying to start a pro/anti ipod while cycling debate. It just seems
to me that the difference between the two would at most be one of very small
degree.
