Shame me all you want, I'm not biking my commute in 90/20 degree weather with a backpack full of stuff including a laptop and no reasonable way to listen to music when I have such a comfortable SUV-type car.
- crooked-v 8y agoThis is the whole reason congestion charges exist: to get people to weigh comfort and laziness against personal cost. > no reasonable way to listen to music ...headphones?
- jimmaswell 8y agoListening to headphones while bicycling isn't safe, and playing it from a speaker where everyone around you will hear it feels rude.
- crooked-v 8y agoI've heard some good things about neck speakers with shaped sound having a minimal ambient impact, but that does get a bit pricier.
- dmurdoch 8y agoTrekz Titanium. Or any other brand of bone conduction headphone. They sound quite good for the price and the fact that I can hear everything else around me at full volume.

- francisofascii 8y agoBuses work well for hot days, and you can actually use your laptop rather than driving. Buses should have dedicated lanes and arrival times every 5 minutes.
- jimmaswell 8y agoI took a train for a commute for a while and I found it hard to focus on anything on the laptop for fear of missing my stop. Certainly wouldn't have worked for music. The anxiety's just too much in those situations. I like long Greyhound rides though.
