A classic debate: to ride with or without music? For those who enjoy a podcast or playlist while you pedal, there’s no denying that having a “friend” in your ear makes the miles tick by faster. What is arguable, however, is how safe it is to ride with your ears plugged or covered.
Over the years, various solutions have emerged to address this issue, each with differing levels of success. From wireless Bluetooth earbuds, which can be worn in one ear (and have, on more than one occasion, fallen out and disappeared into the roadside abyss), to bone-conduction headphones (yet another thing to get tangled up with my helmet straps). Enter a new option to the sound smorgasbord: the Aleck Punks.
