| 878676 | 2010-04-21 02:32:00 | I use an MP3 player while cycling to work in the countryside. Relieves the boredom of the trip. I don't have the volume so loud that I can't hear traffic approaching from behind. The earplugs allow background noise to come through just fine. Don't jump to conclusions about the situation. Who knows how loud she had the volume up? If she ignored the visual clues about a train approaching, perhaps she would have ignored audio clues as well, irrespective of using an ipod. The same argument could be used for pedestrians using an MP3 player while crossing roads. I was not jumping to conclusions. Just asking why somebody would use an MP3 player while cycling. |

I am a cyclist but I never would and never will advocate wearing any sort of headset on a bike, despite what others may think it is one of the stupidest things you can do, it goes some way to proving Darwin's theory |

| 878684 | 2010-04-21 22:08:00 | Thats ok the govt will now get a law changed so we cant use ipods while cycling running etc Thats just being silly it took a long time just to get them to stop people holding onto phones and driving. I agree with Gary its classic Darwin theory on survival of the fittest when people go cycling and listening to music. |
