  1. I'm looking for riding headphones that just have one ear bud. Does
    anyone know of such a thing? Don't suggest I just pull out one ear bud
    from a regular set, because most of the songs I have are stereo, so
    half of the music won't be playing.

    Or is there a way to convert files to be mono? That'd be a last resort
    though.

    Good question, I'm interested in that too. And yeah, I want to ride
    with only one in one hear because it's safer you understand more what's
    going on around you.

  3. I used to have a pair of headphones that a "Stereo/Mono" switch that was
    pretty cheap. I'm sure you could find something like that if you look
    around.

  5. Hey I use my cell phone that has a radio built in when I go riding. I
    just use the regular ear bud with mic to listen to music. Plus I have
    it set up so when I get a call it will automatically answer my phone
    and turn off the music. Then when the other person hangs up the music
    starts again.

  7. My mate has a small back-pack with a water resevoir that has inbuilt
    speakers and it works really well, might be more expensive than what
    you want but it is really good

  8. Hi i think this is a good way to get around the problem of not hearing
    traffic noise and background noise, as long as you dont mind everyone
    else listening to your music! (which depending on your genre could
    result in comments worse than "wheres your other wheel gone" )

  11. Yeah, I agree. iPod with Sony's jogging headphones (the ones that fit to
    the shape of your ear) are great... Turn down the volume and if you
    really want to hear what's going on around you, just pull the speaker
    out of your ear a little. It still hangs and you can keep on cycling.

  12. I wear the ones that clip to your ears and there's a band going behind
    your head, or I use the ear bud type ones.

    I jsut keep my volume down low enough that I can hear myself snap, that
    way I hear my music, and everything else going on.
