Two words: Air Zound. It can get the attention of even the most oblivious jogger. ;)
I can't stand to wear headphones when walking or biking. I want to hear what's around me.
- buboard 7y agois it legal to wear headphones when biking?
- mikestew 7y agoProbably not, in most places. I fail to see what difference it makes: people do it. Hell, I do it on occasion, and I don’t like wearing headphones when I’m riding.
- buboard 7y agoriding a bike is already dangerous, riding with headphones is doubly so
- rhn_mk1 7y agoIn-ear headphones can surprisingly improve spatial awareness by reducing the wind noise at certain speeds. That assumes they are not playing anything though.
- mikestew 7y agoSure, but that’s orthogonal to laws and their effect on behavior. People ride with headphones, dangerous or not, legal or not. I’ll was honestly asking what difference a law makes when people obviously do it, and in areas where I’m sure it’s illegal. Hell, I’ll see people driving with a headphone in each ear, and I know for a fact that’s illegal in at least three states.
