I had a comment at work today. It's not something I've really thought about, but it was pointed out to me that on my Strada (a high racer with the pedals only slightly behind the front of the front wheel) the chain-rings are at groin height....or even worse, they're at small children's face height!
Therefore, if a pedestrian stepped in front of me, and I was on the middle ring, the large ring would be ideally placed to do some serious damage....assuming I didn't hit them pedal first. I just wondered if anyone's ever considered this? Maybe manufacturers should fit guards?
