shawnvan Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Shoulder pads should be mandatory for Le Tour. We might even go one stage without 3 broken collar bones...

ChrisN Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 It is all to do with risk and chance. What is the risk of falling off your bicycle and what is the chance it will happen? Doing downhill events is high risk and high chance so you wear appropriate attire. Road racing is low risk and low chance so you can wear spandex. Makes sense, but these days normal road cycling (not racing) has become a dangerous arena. I'm going to go for more of a enduro style clothing & lightweight padding...It would definitely be a hassle on the duathlons, in the change station, but then again, i am not breaking records any time soon...
Headshot Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 If you an SA marathonesque rider you may not wear protective gear as it ruins the skin tight and aero roadie look most SA mountain bikers strive for.
Patchelicious Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 If you know you are going to fall, dress accordingly. Its a risk vs reward vs likelihood thing! Like putting on a connie before going out....
