Not saying anything about this particular very sad incident, but how anyone can ride a bike with earbuds in and not make themselves even more vulnerable is beyond me.

Couldn't agree more. Situational awareness is poor enough in most pedestrians and joggers with earbuds in.....but when you're moving at 30+mph, have no helmet and just some lycra for protection....

As an aside I watched some muppet trying to talk to someone on his mobile phone while riding by on a 125. Full face helmet, visor up and phone held against the opening. :BangHead:

That is the default riding position for scooterists in Cyprus. Without the helmet.
