Agree 100%

I use my bike time for training my body & relaxing my mind. Are our own thoughts so distressing that we must ALWAYS be entertained?

OTOH, I use my MP3 in the gym to drown out the awful rock music, conversations, grunts & groans. Also, it tells people that I'm not there to socialize. I want to work out & get out.

Wow, I'm really a grump this morning! Time to ride!
