So I'm not the only one who is 'the height of stupidity'
For my own part I am 50% deaf anyway, so I use my excellent vision to compensate for my poor hearing. Ever tried riding a bike with hearing aids in, waste of time.
The MP3 is not loud just enough to take away the boredom. The strange thing about my poor hearing is I seem to 'feel' low frequencies (lorries drive me mad) so I can still hear/feel engines (cars, etc) when close and dangerous. In fact I wouldn't use my MP3 while walking, I find slow moving cars more dangerous - I can't hear the slow / silent engines at all
As for other cyclists ringing their bell to over take me - it just won't happen
