Bloody iPods

It has to be said, pedestrians who walk on shared cycle/pedestrian paths with iPods (or any portable music player) plugged into each ear are fools. Yes that is my call, utter fools. Because they are the first to complain about cyclists whizzing past them without letting them know. How can we let you know when you can't hear anything over the din of your preferred (probably crap) music? We can't can we, so you almost have a heart attack when the cyclist unceremoniously shoots past you, after ringing his/her bell or calling out to you.

So take one of the headphone plugs out, listen in mono while walking. If you don't it is proof that Darwin's theory of natural selection is not working. You should have been weeded out of the gene pool long ago.
