I also don't agree with using ipods on trails and towpaths you still need to able to hear whats coming behind you even when off road and even when walking. It really annoys me when I'm riding along a 3 metre wide track and there are three pedestrians with ipods walking side by side, my bell is redundant because of the ipods stopping them hearing me ring it, the same goes for other cyclists riding two abreast on tracks why can't they ride or walk in single file? if they're listing to those infernal devices they aren't engaged in conversation. Rant over!! Demon |

I have found I can keep the volume low enough to still hear what is going on round me as well as having some music there to listen to when I want to without adjusting the volume all the time. Having an ipod on doesnt stop cars screaming up behing you. For off road we have all tried to attract the attention of walkers who are so oblivious to everything around them, I have to wander why they are out walking. Ride Safe everyone. :-) Buster Oh Yeah Toxic - something with a beat does it for me. |
