There are many over ear headphones that don't block sound and also the in-ear ones fall out at the bumps on the road.
My views are not rigid. I was musing on what the logic of Kobo or Nook might be.

No, it doesn't have speakers. And I do not wear ANY kind of headphones while biking. As I said, I need all my senses to stay alive. Biking in a big city that was designed for cars is no endeavour for wimps or daydreamers, even though I do see the occasional suicidal texting on their bikes
One thing I really do not understand is how and why people can not just do one thing and one thing alone. When they go jogging, they listen to music. Most people I see walking their dogs talking on their mobiles, even in the woods. For me the allure of walking through a forest is the quiet and the sounds of nature. I prefer swimming to every other sport because no one is bothering me with their mostly uninteresting conversation.
With some books I like to switch back and forth between reading and listening. And because I do not have many devices, I use my reader or my tablet for it. And as I don't do this while out and about but when I am at home (or in a car, plane or my friends RV), the reader is not awkward to use at all.
As for my comment on having rigid views, I must have been really grumpy las night, so sorry for that
