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?

Congrats on the new bike, hope you have a great time riding it.

As for the question, no I don't listen to music. I generally ride in two very different environments, either very busy roads or quiet country roads/trails. I'd love to drown out the noise on the busy roads but with the craziness that goes on there, I find my hearing a valuable sense to have and wouldn't feel safe blocking that out. On the quiet country roads and trails where it's peaceful and the birds are chirping away, I'd rather be taking in whats around me fully anyway :)
