Hey All! Most of my rides are solo rides here in Northern Colorado. I am always listening to music on my solo rides, whether it is bluetooth earbuds, phone speakers(not loud at all), or if its a long Brevet style ride I bring a cabled headset.
Most of my rides start on the local town path and reach gravel or dirt roads on the front range. Sadly most people who ride out here never acknowledge that they are passing you. maybe 1 out 10 will say something or ding their bell. Especially the senior E-bikers! Usually only one ear is music, especially on the single track out here. I need to worry more about the wildlife than the humans out here when it comes to music in the ears haha! Anyone out here want to ride? All bikes are welcome to ride! Bike what you Like!
