Is wearing an ipod good or bad when going mountain biking or cycling?

I just generally want to know what you bikers out there think .

i say its good when your getting tired and a song you really like pops up. who's tired now?

 

[help!!]

I would have to say bad there is so much wildlife and potential predators in the mountains it is best to be aware of your surroundings it could save your life if you with a group of people then fine but at least keep the volume down enough that you could hear a warning noise or scream.

mountain biking i would say no. to many things going on around you for you to be aware of
