I've been thinking about joining up with a cycling club in Edinburgh. Mainly because I want to cycle with like minded people on a social and casual ride.
However I am deaf and I've never ridden with a group of cyclists before, deaf or hearing. I can't wear my hearing aids when I cycle unfortunately, because between the helmet and my cycling glasses, the back of my ears gets rubbed raw pretty quick. Plus sweat and hearing aids just don't mix!
I'm aware that communication within a cycling group is pretty important and I was wondering if anyone on this forum had any experience of riding with deaf cyclists and how they got around any communication issues during their rides.
