I might be wrong on this one but I would say the majority of people I see on bikes don’t seem to use earplugs?

How many do and don’t on here?

The reason I ask is I ALWAYS wear them [even if I get 5 miles down the road before realising I have forgotten them I’ll go back]. They cut out so much wind noise I just can’t concentrate without them, I have friends that didn’t use them until I suggested they give it a go and now they can’t ride out without them.

If you don’t use them I suggest you give them a go!!

I dont wear them... tried them a few times but they dulled other noises as well (obviously) and frankly I like to know what is going on around me. If i was out on a long run where I knew there would be lemmings, oops i mean pedestrians and no cars then yeah I'd be happy to wear them.

Wonder how many people wear them and still have race pipes for more noise?
I find they actually increase the amount of 'important noise' you hear because they have filtered out all the wind noise.

I get them free from work as I work in industry ... which i nice :-)

Seems I underestimated the number of people who DO use them!
