About 2 months ago NY passed a law making it illegal to wear headphones
on/in any motor vehicle.  I tried it once, my helmet is a bit to small to
be very comfortable.  But before my head complained it certainly was nice
to listen to tunes on the road.  I think the law is stupid personally.
These new headphone with their open air construction does not restrict
much external noise.  I hear less outside noise in the car when I have
had the windows up/ AC running and the tape deck on than I did
when I tried out the Walkman on the bike.  If people are going to be
stupid enough to be on the cycle with their Walkmans on "10" then
they deserve to die, why should they restrict the people who use them
responsibly?  I always look at these laws as opposed to Darwin, "survival
of the fittest..."
