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?

    Absolutely. I try not to listen to music while I am on roads or around traffic, but as soon as I get on bike trails, I put my earbuds in and start going. Getting the wind in my face with a bike ride and listening to my favorite music is like therapy for me. It’s definitely important to have situational awareness, though, and I tend to stick to familiar trails for my rides.
