worse how? and if you in a car and doing it and get hit, prolly wont die, on a bike getting hit is always more fun.

deaf people can drive/bike and there is obviously an inherent risk in doing so.
deafness vs actively listening to something else that's supposed to be distracting is 2 different things.

joggers going approx 5-10 mph (elite) vs a bike going up to 30 mph. if you dont think that's different than thats cool. they ban headphones in a lot of marathons for that very reason.

biking is already dangerous in certain cities. why make it worse.
do it, have fun. as long as you dont crash into me and mine, i dont really care.
