No, it is just my number 1 bug bear. It really. Really. REALLY . frustrates me.
Apologies for abruptness but it just winds me up something chronic. The amount of near misses I've had, and collisions i've seen are stupid. Lets say I want to cycle on the cycle path to work , and you can't hear me behind you , ringing my bell, etc, thats just stupid. Lets say you are cycling with head phones on, and someone hoots, or you can't hear the car coming behind you, or you cant hear the other cyclist coming behind you who is ringing his bell, or shouting, its just there is so much to hear with your ears, I dont see why you would ever want to remove yourself from hearing it. And it is dangerous. Taking risks that affect other people more than yourself is just not worth it in my opinion. If you wont listen to your surroundings yourself, why should anyone else take any notice of your surroundings

I was going to wear them on a treadmill in the gym. I wasn't planning on going for a jog on f1 day at the Gazza strip.
