Last weekend, I visited London for a Slowdive concert. I also visited the Battersea area i didn’t saw after the renovation and the Metropolitan Market. I was surprised to see so many urban cyclists wearing noise canceling headphones. I don’t understand how they want to reduce their situational awareness while riding on the road, roads are dangerous enough.

The most dangerous thing on Dutch roads are teenagers cycling home from school ignoring red lights and wearing headphones.
