In my opinion, wearing headphones while out riding anything is not a good idea. Not sure of the law but it sure helps to hear what's going on around you. I don't even like wearing them while I run, too many close calls. I don't wear them any longer.
Spot on Russ. The number one rule to survival is to be aware of your surroundings.
