I suppose we should also ban quiet EVs while we're at it?
I used to ride my bicycle a lot while listening to some Stones. Never had an issue. What exactly is it you think bicyclists should respond to? They will realize a car sneaking up from behind is doing 80kph and jump out of its way somehow?
Heck, I continued my habit after I finally caved in and bought a car. Again, Stones playing on the stereos, and all the windows tightly closed. Especially in the winter when the traffic situation is even more complex.
Do you drive your car with your head sticking out the window listening for aural clues as to what is going on? [/curious]
(PS: making it a habit to look behind oneself before making a turn is probably good advice, regardless of the mode of transportation being chosen)
