As many of you know, I bike to work and pretty much everywhere. In addition, I am obsessed with music and am constantly listening to something. Those 2 facts create a conundrum. If I bike without listening to music, I lose valuable listening to music time. On the other hand, if I have head phones on my ears while biking, it increases the chance of me hurting my self or someone else. The solution, giant ass headphones that I put around my neck. The headphones are loud enough for me to hear the music clearly while riding, but since they are around my neck instead of my ears I can still hear what is going on around me. The only down side is that I might look slightly ridiculous, but that has pretty much been the norm for me anyway so it is no big deal.
