Music is a distraction....... You would be better off using all your senses to focus on potential hazards. The elimination of risk is the name of the song that I play over and over in my head and it's a lot cheaper than an iPod w/ Etymotic earbuds....... Just a thought.

Sounds like you've never ridden very far, on long roads where there is nothing around for miles & miles & miles...

I have ridden for miles & miles & miles but I never assumed that there was nothing around me. Don't you consider wildlife as a major risk? I was schooled in trying to eliminate as much risk as possible. Ride safe my friend.
