I could see it being dangerous if you have your I-Pod hooked up and you are trying to change songs with gloves on. Those little buttons on the MP3 players can be tricky.

I dont really want to use the comparison of being able to walk and chew gum but it seems to fit. Simply listening to music is a lot less distracting than talking on a cell phone even with a hands free setup.

Yes, they are very dangerous.
I was cruisin down a nice little two lane road listening to my tunes and a great ZZ Top song came on and I really got into it.
Without thinking I got up on the seat and started dancing!!!
Dang wind nearly knocked me off the bike!!!
Gonna order a taller windshield so that doesn't happen again!!!

Hey dragonfiregirl, why don't you have any information in your profile? Location, etc? We don't need to know the exact lat/long, but a city or state would be nice to know, ya dig?

Why would it be any more or less worse than driving a car? To some level it possibly could be enough of a distraction, but if it's that distracting to a person on a bike, I dread ever being around that same person when they are driving!
