I have very poor eye sight and wouldn't dream of riding my bike without my glasses, I would probably have an accident, lol

So if I was trying to pass you Footie, I would wait
Oh Mandy, you do have an amusing sense of humour

I've had bad hearing from about 19 yrs old (discovered when I tried to join the RAF), so I tend to ignore it. I'm the only one who can understand people talking in a disco as I lip read reasonably well. Luckily my eyesight is very good and compensates for the loss.

Thankyou for your concerns but I am perfectly happy cycling with my MP3 player on - set on a low volume.

As for hearing your bell. Of course I wouldn’t hear it - but it wouldn't be because it’s quite and it wouldn't be because I'm wearing my MP3 player. It would simple be because you'd never be able to catch up with me on my North Cornwall hills to over take
