Remote for changing tracks

This is blatant advertising, posts very similar to this from new users have been popping up in UK bike forums and have been deleted.

To follow on from winkybiker, it is a bloody stupid idea to encourage people to wear headphones while riding a bike. A really bloody stupid idea.

Well spotted about the advertisment factor. Now I'm really angry. ***.

I guy crashed a died on the cycle path (Lionsgate Bridge) yesterday here. The other cyclist involved was wearing headphones. No idea about the actual cause as nobody could attract the attention of the headphone-wearing cyclist before he sped off. The only other witness was dead.
 
It makes me very angry, it's an utterly stupid idea for cycling and should not be encouraged, I've been looking for a way to complain to kickstarter about it.

I actually saw a girl cycling along a busy road in Glasgow while putting her ear-buds in! Morons.
