Sincere encouragment - Wear protective gear


Kwing

Recommended Posts

Dear all,

I know it won't happen often but I sincerely encourage you all to wear protective gear at all times..the only time I forgot t wear a shin guard..  I fall and cut myself so deep I need stitches .. yes right on the shin..

Nothing gonna stop me from wheeling but it will be protective gear head to toe every time

The sheen is the part of the feet that gets hit the most by the pedals during the learning phase and during instances of sudden dismounts caused by imbalance. Many of the riders wear high top shoes mainly to protect the sheen from being hit. Others still wear normal sneakers or even sandals and take the risk. I myself get some pedal marks on my shin every now and then but just shrug it off as a normal part of riding the EUC. Hope you heal well. Be safe and ride carefully.

@Kwing OMG, wish you a speedy recovery, hope everything will be fine, what happened, is it from learning going backwards, how the shin got cut, is it the pedal?

I ordered bunch of stuff from Amazon, should got it in couple days, I thought if I'm gonna looks like a dork wearing all the protective gears, at least I want it to be a cool dork

Yea these are the ones I bought https://zoxoro.com.au/Products/Sports-Outdoors/Action-Sports/Inline-Roller-Skating/Protective-Gear/Elbow-Pads/JBM-Official-Adult-Protector-Set-Elbow-Pads-Knee-Pads-Apply-to-Cycling-motorcycle-or-Other-Adventure-Activities.html

They look like they protect the arm and sheen. 

Also gonna buy some shoes they protects the ankle as well... I much rather look like a dork then be sorry..

Nothing is going to stop me from riding though... :D
