How many of you listen to audiobooks while cycling? What do you listen to? Do you use a speaker, bone induction headphones, only keep one earbud in?

Good thing I'm listening to heady books that require intense focus and not just listening to music

I'd listen to a podcast maybe, but most times on a bike I'd much rather be listening to music.

I listen to music, I've never been able to focus much on audiobooks while doing other things. Maybe if I were on rollers but I can't dodge cagers and focus on the latest Twilight saga.

please don't cycle with headphones on. it's very dangerous and every cyclist is a friend to me.

i cycle always listening to something, usually a podcast, and i just have my right earbud in because im riding on the right side of the street either against parked cars or in the bike lane thats on the right so my left ear is open to the road.

headphone in my right ear so I can hear leftside traffic. Listen to podcasts. Tend to avoid ebooks because the ones I read seem to require more focus than I can give while cycling.

I used to listen to music all the time with earbud's, its either that or 20 mph wind noise.
its ok so long as the volume is not much more than wind noise its still possible to hear most things, but one has too look around allot more.

good book (on paper), but does it have that annoying audiobook thing where the narrator doesn't bother to find out how proper nouns are pronounced?

i do. i listen to a lot of science stuff like books, but sometimes do classics. the old testament was 68 hours i think. it goes by so fast when you're just riding and enjoying the scenery. its a very nice type of mellowing out. i've listened to way more books than i would have ever sat down to read just by riding around

>Do you use a speaker
please don't do this

I like the fact that I listen more but I have a feeling that I don't retain as much. I have to listen at least twice to even begin to apply it to my life.

my number one complaint about audiobooks is i often listen to science stuff and wish i had a notepad next to me so i could write down some shit and look up later, which obviously you can't do with your hands on bars riding along. very valid complaint

I think different books and media are suited for different activities. For example I'll probably never attempt to finish Atlas Shrugged on my bike. but certain audiobooks I have good memories of while riding. Listening to Breath by James Nestor was enlightening because I got to pay close attention to my breathing while cycling.

its all about time. i think the longest book i've listened to was the old testament and that was 70 some hours, so i actually sped it up to 1.2x which was fine. i'm only a commuter so i put maybe a dozen miles or so on my bike per week, and i've gone through like 70 books the same way so far. audiobooks are awesome, but i wish i could have a notepad or something while riding

Cycling on a road with headphones is a bit suicidal really and when I'm on a country track I like enjoy the peace and quiet and sounds of birds etc

that's pretty cool. Maybe you can ask your phone' AI assistant to take notes for you on the fly. Or turn on a recording app using just your voice. I might learn how to do this on my android

This, you never have too much situational awareness while on the road.

Sorry racer boy. I'm clearly not able to break the sound barrier like you, hotshot. I bet you're a real hit with the ladies, when you swoosh past them and show your superior speed abilities.

Fair enough but binaural hearing evolved for a reason and also I'd rather just go without and have stereo music when I get home.
