Not because they are dry when it rains. Not because I run faster. Also because it is less likely to be injured in an accident myself. No, my main point of jealousy because the drivers have radios and flashing can sing their favorite music while driving.
I sing to myself as I often cycle, but it is still the same. To withdraw into headsets are equally dangerous. But I recently purchased a set of watertightspeakers, home to my iPod. Finally I have a bicycle is stereo!
