<p style=”text-align: left;”>I do this when I’m alone on a trail. I put my phone in the top of my backpack right behind my head. I always make sure it’s just barely loud enough for me to hear though, so that if I get going too fast even I barely hear it. I do get nervous about it, but I ride on off days and am usually alone out there.</p>
I like hearing what my bike is doing too much to listen to any music loudly anyways.

I agree with the get off my lawn statement though, anyone listening to music too loud is rude on the trail. I don’t want to hear anyone elses music, and it gets old getting glared at by people wearing headphones that you yelled at during your approach, who act like you snuck up on them.
