    Thinking back, I’ve hurt

    Thinking back, I’ve hurt fingers, shin, and elbow.  Never hit my head, and never my torso (AFAIK).  I’ve come off a handful of times altogether (oil/ice/dropped kerb), one dooring.

    (You know, I’m sure there’s something utterly-reasonable-that-wouldn’t-start-a-war to say about the crash test dummy wearing an inflatable gilet but not wearing a helmet…).

    Why not have one constantly inflated a bit like a buoyancy aid.

    Should be mandatory for car users given the number of injuries from accidents (along with a helmet for head injuries)

    Yeah, my bins have always

    Yeah, my bins have always ended in hips, tailbone, elbows and knees injuries. Oh and hands of course.

    I’m not convinced about this

    I’m not convinced about this as I’ve never really hurt my chest/back when falling off. To my mind, I’d rather have elbow/shoulder/knee/hip protection but then again I very rarely (touch wood) come off my bike and I’d imagine pads would be a fuss to put on/take off.

    Edit: just thought that this vest could be useful when navigating Temple Meads station’s stairs when there’s loads of commuters coming the other way and I’m carrying my bike.
