    chick - I emailed my BF the amazon page of those earphones, and he likes them. He thinks we should give them a try. Personally, the ones that came with my iPod Shuffle are very uncomfortable, so anything would be better. Will let you know if we do try them.

    ...rings on the insides? I have a ring...as a tragus piercing. Is that what you mean? I can't use an earbud in my left ear for that reason (too sensitive).

    And another blogger chimes in from the opposite side:

    Hell, you might as well smear globs of Vaseline over your sunglasses, too. Go ahead, order the big plate of glaucoma with a side order of deafness. That way, you won’t be distracted by the sight of the ground rushing toward you as you wonder what that hot, roaring, metallic thing is that just attached itself to your a**.

    I did *not* know that. That's hot. Yow. and it'd hurt, too. yowowowow. cartilage...

    On the topic- I don't think anyone will truly change their habits based on the opinions of those on this thread. If I'm going on a long ride in boring territory (empty parks, etc) I play music just so it's audible and cues my memory as to what the song is. (or I end up looping one song for freakin' ever and then it gets stuck in my head, thank-you-very-much-Knot for U2.

    I agree with this, but it can be useful to hear other people's opinions sometimes. I was surprised by how many of you were downright annoyed that OTHER cyclists wear headphones. Which doesn't bother me or change my opinion - I know full well how much I notice or don't notice in traffic - but tips me off that other people I meet may treat me badly in traffic solely because I'm wearing headphones. Pissing people off is rarely a good idea, especially if they're driving a SUV and you're sharing a lane with them...

    Which reminds me of an online discussion I once read, where a couple of taxi drivers went completely ballistic over cyclists in Oslo. I've given taxis a wider berth ever since, no need to tempt fate.
