Ouch-first ever off-road night ride

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Looks worse than it is--just a little scuffle with the pedals when I misjudged a turn near a ditch. No stitches needed or bones sticking out = I'm good.

Now that..

Voted 10/10

...looks painful Mal. Shin injuries REALLY hurt. Was that on your GT?

	Hasn't voted	Yep. Saw it coming at the last fraction of a second so I just kinda rolled with it and didn't bend a fork or damage anything else on the bike. Close one. I needed one for the Owch album.

	Voted 10/10	Flats are worse than spuds especially those with the spikes on. Need body armour just for them!

	Voted 10/10	Outside of the fact that those cool shin guards cost a pretty penny and my everyday mtn bikers look like hardcores, that body armour is not such a bad idea. Like my boss always said, "Safety first!"

	Hasn't voted	I'm actually stuck in the eighties when it comes to pedals--traps and straps. Just very comfortable with them. Better than flats with spikes but still some edges.
