Wow.
I noticed small(er) bruises on my legs after Saturday's 40K time trial.
I never got that before and was going to post a question just like yours.

Interesting...I have been on again, off again commuting to work (based on my custody schedule with my kids) and I notice during weeks I commute, I get bruises on my inner thighs. My ride is short and not strenuous (3.5 miles each way, all flat) and I thought maybe I was just hitting myself during dismounts, but that never really seemed quite right. Now I wonder if something else is going on.

I might also mention that any of you who take anti oxidants, fish oil, vitamin e, green tea, etc. have thinner blood and might be more inclined to bruise.

I am so used to having random bruising and bruises on my arms and legs that I no loger pay attention. I can give myself and bruise by just scratching at some dry skin too hard.

Ha, I totally get that. And when I do have falls I bruise BAD! I was thrown from a snowmobile in HS onto a patch of ice and had a dinner plate sized bruise on my hip for months. Another time I crashed while inline skating and had bruises all up once side of my body.

I don't take any supplements that would thin my blood, so I think it's just me. I have fairly low BP, too.
