Cyclers with iPods are a bloody menace as well, tbh.

I just don't get why one would want to shut down a critical sense when riding. On road, there are hazards to think about, while off-road, there are the sounds of nature.
Music of any type - but especially 3rd rate rock/pop or whatever - is for the car and/or home.
There. Do you feel preached at?
shut down a critical sense when riding
highly useful - NOT critical* - Deaf people can cycle safely too
Joggists are mere amateurs compared to students
And students pale into insignificance compared to Edinburgh festival goers. My old commute had me crossing the meadows everyday, you get used to the students, but then the festival goers appear...
The "best" is when you see them looking at the pictures of the bike on the ground, even discussing it, then jump in shock when a bike comes past!

Oh, I fully accept that. I suspect, though, that people who live with permanent hearing loss leave their homes acutely aware of the need to pay close attention in other ways.
I doubt this is the case with an iPod wearer on wheels.

There's an absolutely ENORMOUS flaw when examining those two statements. 
i think its more a case of *some* people are idiots, whether using ipods or not.
