I had that mindset a year ago. Rode a bright yellow bike for primary transportation, ATGATT, etc. Then, back in May, I was riding through an intersection and a car slammed into me head-on because they didn't see me. My "proper gear" may have saved me from a head injury, but not serious injury - my leg was fractured, needed surgery, and I couldn't walk for months. So.. I'll probably just be a coward (at least as far as city riding goes) from now on.
The Gigabeat S is a wonderful piece of hardware, though lack of support by Toshiba ruined it; there are numerous bugs, including one which randomly formats the hard drive, yet there have been no firmware updates.
My Gigabeat S30 running Rockbox was not effected by the freeze, for (now) obvious reasons; Rockbox is wonderful.
