    Oh so right on the ipod, etc. My sister was with me and she was running (my knees don't run) and she was all wired in. I tend to like to hear what is going on around me so don't wear one.

    There probably isn't an answer, I know even a bell gets old and you get sore thumbs if in a highly congested area.

    I certainly learned a lesson as a walker though to never assume no one is behind you when making a move to the right or the left!

    This is debated often on BikeForums. People have said that sometimes the person you are overtaking only hears the word "left" and swerves right in to your path. For that reason I always use my bell. Works just fine if the person actually hears it.
