mixed feelings dude....cause i fear someday i will go deaf but cant go out without music cause thats the only thing which keeps me from pulling my hair while stuck in traffic or slow movement...i use rear view mirrors everytime when i brake or stop.but problem arises when the guy behind honks at you and you dont budge cause your ears are sealed.so low volume is important while on city roads.and if he flashes his beams at me i can notice in my rear mirror..but on highways its vice versa.and whatever said and done i just cant complete 600 to 700 kms just listening to the sound of the wind or my engine..
also somehow i am able to concentrate more on the road if am listening to music.the rythm controls my throttle and if its a fast song i feel like ripping off but i control myself and fortunately my senses become sharper...sounds like crap to others but thats how i feel

I don't think it is a good idea to listen to music while riding, especially if you're a Heavy Metal fan. I've tried it before and i've felt that it affects my riding significantly. I used to turn up the volume quite high to cancel the traffic noise and as a result, couldn't hear the honks of vehicles behind me, particularly those of other bikers. Fortunately, i've never had any accidents while listening to music or otherwise i would never suggest anyone to listen to music and ride, although some people do it. And yes, if the music was fast-paced, i always felt like gunning the throttle. Not too good within the city! No more music listening while riding for me!

I strongly feel that it is not safe to listen to music while riding..!
but i do it all the time..!
and i am not proud of it..but still..i am unable to resist it..!
i need earphones in my ear if i am riding for more than 10 kms. its become like an addiction..i cant do without it..!
and its not just while riding..i need music while doing a lot of other stuff too..hell these days..i cant go to sleep without having listened to some music..!
i fact 5 years back..i used to listen to music when i used ride my bicycles to tutions.

but at the end of the day i think it is unsafe...!
(but on a personal note..ive never had any problems so far..!)

It completely depends upon the person. Some people can ride well with earphones, whilst some peopl cant. Try using them, and if u are able to ride with full concentration, i see no point in not wearing. And about the deafness thing. You wont go deaf my using earphones. You shouldnt use high volume thats all. I just read this on yahoo few weeks back.

While riding, you have to put the volume high (because of the road noise interfere your music) in order to listen to the music. This will eventually damage your ears in the long run. Its therefore not recommended.

You will not hear the honking-dangerously coming vehicle behind. For a safe riding I don't recommend musics. Its a different thing in cars but strictly not in case of bikes.

The things is, You can't really enjoy the music while riding nor you will enjoy the riding. Whats the use ?

I do this every often, addiction you can say! But not safe ofcourse.

So do it only if you are 100% sure about your comfort level while listening music n Riding at the same time...

RIDE SAFE

I love to listen to the music while traveling, but never could get the guts to listen while on bike. Yes, I get too damm insecure about not able to listen to something which may cause trouble for others as well as me.

Well..Biking+Music is a very dangerous combo(my personal experience) unless you are pillion..

When you listen to music you literally flow with it.And if it's rock or something of this sort you ride like nuts..You rev according to beats!..And,therefore, it's very difficult to concentrate on road and especially,the traffic behind!

It feels very good though but the risk involved is just the double!

Of late,I've been doing this: One ear to earphones and the other one to horns and traffic chaos!

If you are addicted to music then this can be a better alternative but still it's a strict no-no!
