I never go riding or even to the gym without my buds. But I also never ride roads or MUPS without my helmet which has a mirror and I'm always tuned in to what's going on around me. It's called Situational Awareness. Learned it many years ago for completely different reasons, but it's like riding a bike, you never lose it.
