I'm going to take a look at the options Kris. I know what road rash is and I've seen it before......and I know it's no fun getting the pebbles out that got imbedded in the skin.....
Please don't think that I'm blowing off any advice for protecting my body, it's just that with what I'm doing with the bike right now, I'm not needing that kind of protection.
The speedlimits are very low (very rarely do I even get to 40 mph) and I only ride about 5 miles one way.
