I’ve seen people claim that cyclists with earbuds in are a menace, when I know for a fact that they listen to loud music in their modern extremely insulated luxury SUV with shit visibility.
The cyclist is primarily risking his own health, the SUV driver is primarely risking the life of others. That is the key difference here. However, I am not a fan of either. Especially when being a cyclist I don’t want to miss the situational awareness of fully hearing the environment, after all the ears are my mirrors, you can’t look back all the time.
