Similar to the way in which motorists or surgeons use music to relax in high-stress situations, Jungnickel and Aldred reckon that a cyclist listening to music is well equipped to deal with the maelstrom around them: "Our research suggests that cyclists are just as consciously aware, if not more, of their sensory engagement as other transport users and engage in sensory strategies that manage their exposure to it. Just as drivers use the radio to create a safe, social and comfortable space on the road, it is possible to interpret cyclists’ sensory strategies [listening to music] as ways of negotiating and domesticating challenging environments."
