Do you listen to music while cycling? (kbin.social)

I just got my new (used) bike, and I'm also a big music nerd and love to listen to music when I'm traveling. Do you personally listen to music while you're cycling, and in your opinion is it safe?

In addition to the other commenter I agree on the podcast thing but it heavily depends on where you are cycling and how hard it is. If you are in heavy traffic, it's a bust. But if you are in a fairly quite road it's fine.

It's also worth noting that the audio quality is not brilliant but it's good enough of you are an average music listener.

I basically never take mine off, I wear them at work and even wear them in bed so I don't disturb my wife.
