You've seen people that are walking, jogging, or biking down the trail and you come up behind them and you yell, "COMING UP ON YOUR LEFT!" but they don't hear you, so you try and pass them and they see you coming up next to them and it scares the crap out of them. That is the single most reason NOT to wear headphones, or have music playing while your out walking, jogging, running, biking, or what ever it you like to do outside along the road or trail. If you are guilty of doing it, well so am I, but frankly it's not safe to do. Say your out running after work and it's about 5:30 - 6 pm, and you have your headphones in blaring your favorite Beatles song and a car is coming up behind you, and you don't hear their horn, and they hit you, or someone tries to kidnap you, or what ever. you would never hear it coming, until it's too late. Or if you are that guy that had his headphones in, in the beginning of this paragraph who got the crap scared out of him, because he didn't know the biker was going around him. So for your safety and so you know whats going on around you, don't wear your headphones, be aware of your surroundings.
Keep on Biking....
