Well boys, it's been fun playing with you, but i'm going to go for a ride since it's in in the high 40s here and it's sunny. I'll be sure to have both my rear and front lights on and not have earphone in so I can be safe. After all, a 14# bike doesn't have much of a chance against a 4000# car. And we all know how drivers love to talk on their cell phones and text.

The stupid question was posed to challenge your logic of needing hearing to be able to drive or cycle safely.
And wearing ear buds does not require my bicycle to have much of a chance against a 4,000 pound car. The two are totally unrelated. Countless cyclist ride every single day on the road without incident. And until not too recently, every cyclist ever involved in an accident with a car was riding without ear buds.
When I drive my car I don't hear approaching vehicles, either.
Enjoy your ride.
