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?

I don't have any issues personally, the ones I use let me hear the world around me just fine. Having my ears completely open isn't gonna prevent someone from not seeing me, running a stop sign, or swerving into the bike lane. If I'm gonna get run over, I may as well have a soundtrack. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hah that's a positive attitude. Now I gotta create a "songs to get run over to" playlist
