Tons of bicyclists are now riding with bluetooth headphones in their ears.
The wearing of headphones has been reported, without controversy, to have markedly increased pedestrian deaths.

But to suggest that the same device that makes walking more dangerous also makes bicycling more dangerous is to invite the wrath of the internet know-it-all, who talks much more about bicycling than actually doing it.
