As for ipods on a bike ......... don't you all think it's bad enough not always seeing trouble coming your way let alone not being able to hear either. Sorry ...... but I know 3 people have been knocked off and they all reckon it happened because they had ipods/mp3 players on. Totally responsible riding ...........NOT !!!!!!
