But the folks on the side of the road that get hit when a driver is distracted by those things aren't protected by anything.

I don't really like it either when I come upon a cyclist, runner, walker, whatever... who can't hear me because they have their earphones in. But it's not my choice to make. I wish they weren't so self centered as to think they are only ones out there, but whatever... maybe they need to shut out the world for a while. “Don't judge any man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.”

AND I love wearing my Thump Pro sunglasses when I ride or run. Music does make running and climbing easier.
