I had a bike crash injury from the 1990’s flare up out of nowhere a few hours ago. It’s a good thing I have a monumentally high pain tolerance, or I’d be ugly crying in a corner. The crash was pretty bad (requiring a few hour visit to the ER). Despite my youthful resilience at the time, I still have visible & lasting effects from it. Ride safe out there!

Anyone have recommendations for commercial wind-blocks for ears when biking?

After researching noise from wind while biking, I improvised ones with scraps of fabric I had in my office. I was super impressed by how much easier it was for me to hear traffic and other noise once the wind over my ears was reduced. The final conclusion the X-mas stocking worked slightly better for noise than the fabric face mask, but looks very silly.

Now that I'm wearing short sleeves, my watch tells me that my bicycle commute is too loud due to wind noise. I do notice that the wind noise is pretty loud. Does anyone know whether bicycling is a risk for hearing loss? Should I think about wearing earmuffs? I think they will reduce the wind noise without blocking real noise.

@Air_Quotes_Comedian Not at all. Bicycling in the US is safe and pleasant, if one follows the rules of the road, and rides defensively, carefully and prudently.

@dsacer States/cities must reallocate the space allocated to automobiles - adding protected bike lanes on major roads/streets. That way, in urban areas, 30 to 50 percent of travel will be by people bicycling and walking. Bicycling must be practical, safe, and convenient for people of all ages and abilities. It will reduce: 1) the forecast electrical demand, 2) cost of living by around 30% and 3) improve the people’s health. #climatechange #UrbanPlanning #bicyclesafety #bicycle
