I just got my new (used) bike, and I'm also a big music nerd and love to listen to music when I'm traveling. Do you personally listen to music while you're cycling, and in your opinion is it safe?

Yep ! Got some open run from shokz and my commute include 10 km cycling path removed from car trafic where I rarely see anyone, so some high beat music is good to keep the pace.

How do you like the bone conduction? I've never actually tried a pair.

In addition to the other commenter I agree on the podcast thing but it heavily depends on where you are cycling and how hard it is. If you are in heavy traffic, it's a bust. But if you are in a fairly quite road it's fine.

It's also worth noting that the audio quality is not brilliant but it's good enough of you are an average music listener.

I basically never take mine off, I wear them at work and even wear them in bed so I don't disturb my wife.
