AFAIK it’s acceptable if the parent is walking or sitting with the child. It’s only abusive if you tie the leash outside while you go run some errands in a store, or if left attached in the backyard.

Oh, yes, so much surprise.

Bah, sound quality is just okay. It’s fine for podcasts and electronic without bass, but it’s kind of annoying for some types of music.

It works but… meh.

Headphones on a bike are illegal in my province. So I once bought a bluetooth speaker for my bike. I don’t really like imposing my music to anyone and tried to keep it at a minimum level but stills didn’t like it. So now I use bone conduction headphones. Unfortunately they are also in a grey area where they could also be illegal.

In short, if you want to listen to music on a bike here, your only legal option is a speaker. Anything else is unsafe and could traumatize a poor car driver that hits a cyclist that didn’t hear them coming (according to the police here).

Otherwise get a car and blast the music with the windows open like a normal safe person. or close the windows and don’t hear anything around, but this is much safer than having headphones while cycling, obviously.

Same with walking or jogging with headphones. Are you out of your mind? Some poor car driver could hit reckless runners jumping in front of their car because they couldn’t hear it coming.

No, society wants everyone not in a car to keep quiet and don’t ruin their silence, with all the soothing car noises, so it’s safer this way. No headphones on a bike, it’s not safe! You need to hear that car blasting music that’s coming at you.

Even right now. Look at how people have to wait in huge lines to get some gas every time there is a natural disaster, or extreme weather. After a few days, or even hours, it’s mostly gone.

Note: Musk died on the way back to his home planet.

We can only wish. Was Lindell ever a billionaire? Let alone the richest person in the world?

It would certainly be very nice to see Musk in the same situation, but he still has a long way to go until that point.

If there is anything that life showed me at a young age, during gym classes, it’s that sports people and competitive people will not stop for compassion or ethics.

They can come from the most democratic country, but those athletes will have trained all their life for this moment, and they would still go even if the Olympics were held in a North Korean torture camp.

Again, they trained all their life for this, so what’s a few human rights violations, or even a little bit of blatant corruption, if you can say you won the Olympics?
