OK, this is on the edge of being snarky, but I have to ask an opinion on this. On Wednesday, I did a club ride. There's a guy who comes to some of the rides who wears full body protection. I mean chest plate, knee and elbow protection. He is otherwise dressed like a road cyclist.
I heard him talking about crashes he had, but really, is this going to protect him on the road? He appears to be in his early forties, maybe a bit younger than the group of very fit geezers I ride with.
It just seems so odd and I am not sure if it would make any difference in the end. Between trying to figure him out and playing cat and mouse with the guy who just couldn't stand being "chicked," I had a fun 65 mile ride.
