Apart from safety issues, I won't listen to music while I ride because it would interrupt the great mental unspooling that riding induces. My mind waneders, I process things from work and life. I get ideas.
You can't explain it to non-cyclist. How a 2 hour ride, a 4 hour ride, even more, can go by without ever being bored. YMMV, but it's my form of meditation. Music would just get in the way.
