What are your thoughts on this and if you do listen to music, any tips to be able listen and keep safe at the same time?
would absolutely not have headphones in while riding on the road.
My view is you only need to be unlucky once and your life could change dramatically or come to a premature end.
I like to be able to hear when cars are coming and know they are approaching. I was riding near a motorway the other day and was mega surprised when a car passed me I couldn't hear because of the other traffic noise.
