Sharing some thoughts when I did bike riding and didn't have the shoulder problems I currently have that limit my doing so.

I would NOT recommend riding with headphones.

Here is why. You will not be able to hear cars behind you and sometimes they get uncomfortably behind you and the better course of wisdom is to pull more to the right if you can. Yes, having and looking at the side mirror helps to view the situation that you hear from not listening to music on headphones when you are riding.

Even on the Canal Line or any linear trails where there are no motor vehicles, , I would not recommend them because you cannot hear  rollerbladers behind you who may be talking to each other and not really paying attention.

Hearing them has caused me to then look at the mirror to see if they are not paying attention. Obviously, I don't want to get rearended by them.

Being fitted with Kevlar tires reduces the chance of a  flat tire or of a blowout.
