I was right about that saddle
I don't want to repeat the debate, for sure. I was just amazed that she even asked.

It's every bit as dangerous as listening to the radio in a car - what was she thinking?

Buy her a pair of Aftershokz bone conduction headphones. Ears are open to all other sounds and they are fabby. Legal to use on the road or when driving a car too.

Is there are UK law that bans headphones? If so, are you sure it written to allow these?

I won't use earphones on a main road.
However, I do have one earphone in when I'm on the tow/cycle paths - it's a low enough volume that I can still hear everything around me.
Sometimes I don't listen to anything, it depends on my mood.

(rarely go to headphone/helmet sub forum)
Personally, I find music itself distracting. I wear a bluetooth earpiece, and listen to podcasts. I find that after anything happens that requires my attention, I just stop listening (and have to rewind afterwards), so it really doesn't interfere. However, music absorbs me and makes me less conscious of the road, even though I can still here road noises quite well.

Well, perhaps you should do if you want to talk about helmets and headphones

Deaf people ride bikes they also have mirrors and use them a lot so they know what is around them and not just in the front.

Same here. Some folk can handle it, others for some reason can't. End of story really.

I don't use them. I just sing badly to myself.
