This is part of the road regulations (gesetze-im-internet.de/stvo_2013/__23.html). France is worse, headphones are explicitly forbidden. | |

| Dec 11, 2017 at 13:30 | comment | added | Pont | @Qsigma From OP's post history it seems that they're in Germany, where (as in most of the world) there's no law against wearing earphones while cycling. As to safety, that's dependent on multiple factors, most obviously the music volume. It's entirely possible to listen to music through earphones at a volume which still lets you hear ambient sound. | |
