He said smugly.
How about the self-righteous "don't wear headphones because it's against the law on a bike" (horrible sentence structure, BTW) versus the "don't need no steenkin' ear-nanny bud police tellin' me what to do" retort?
Choice is a good thing... BS

Choice? It's against the law.
So is speeding. Those who are caught will probably get a ticket. What are you going to do, call 9-1-1 every time you see a cyclist "breaking the (gasp!) law"?!?
(BTW, the hateful, personal [censored] you spewed originated from a guy WHO WEARS HEADPHONES, so stick it up your pin-hole-sized sphincter.)
My point was the irony of you calling other people smug. WHOOSH.

I didn't post that as a bicycle thing, just that there was an ear issue with volume. Preserve your ears at home so you can hear when riding. I don't expect anyone here to be dumb enough to wear phones AND ride. Bill
But you posted it to a bike group so it's relavence to cycling will be discussed.
I drive by sight and I ride by sight while I enjoy listening to music. I've always felt sorry for you simple folk who can't multi-task.
I've always been annoyed by the pod-deaf people that can't hear my bike bell.
It has nothing to do with multitasking, it's akin to saying that it's just as safe to drive at night with sunglasss on. Completely aburd reasoning.
Please. Should deaf people not ride? They're allowed to drive.

That's not the same. If hearing is SO important to riding a bicycle that the usage of an iPod is akin to a suicide attempt, then deaf people should be banned from the roads.

And what exactly are you listening for while you ride your bike. I can still hear sirens and car horns over my music so why should I want to hear the engine of the car behind me? Do you adjust how you're riding when you hear a truck come up behind you? Why, were you riding incorrectly before you heard the truck? Do you pull over and stop everytime you hear a car behind you?
Wearing lightly tinted yellow sunglasses at night may help some drivers!
Oh. and if you're unable to navigate through people who haven't heard your little bell maybe you should lean to actually ride that bike of yours instead of expecting everyone else to 'leap' out of your way.

Deaf people have spent a lifetime learning to compensate for their disability, you have not.
Typical tactic of someone who can't win an argument. (Google Mike Vandeman for a role model.)

Very simple argument, just check your local lawbooks. Tada!! You lose.
The /tactic/ is snipping what someone writes and answering with "yawn". Sure mark of a loser. Loser.
{Snide, inappropriate and unfounded personal attack removed. The person you got it from, Neil Brooks, USES HEADPHONES, by the way, but don't let that stop you from being the slimy punkweasel you are.}
Have you stopped beating your girlfriend yet, Punkweasel? Get some help for your inferiority and anger issues before it escalates and you wind up in jail.
Seriously. There's treatment for your problem. Stop hurting innocent females.

Case closed, bye, and oh yeah: it's illegal.
Stop hurting women, Punkweasel. Get some help for your inferiority complex and anger issues before it's too late.
