Gets to the point where you start pointing out cracked tiles that haven't been replaced.

Absolutely. No way woukd I give up riding my my sequined ball gowns for snug fitting lycra.If you race wear the gear, if you ride as transport shops and general day to day stuff why would anyone have a load of special gear? Ultimately the more people cycling daily means less pointless car trips and a healthier population and better environment. If people are are scared in to buying loads of specialist products they don't actually need how will that ever get more people on bikes?

So I have recently had another look at helmets and there doesn't seem to have been much change in the design or the impact absorbing materials used in quite a few years.
Brakes, Electrics, Steering, Trainsmission, Chain, Oil, Pressures, Assesories.
agreed!No doubt someone will develop a crash helmet airbag or even one for the bike itself, perhaps they already exist ? See above!
Can't see roadies wanting to pad up for a descent though although agree it's very high risk effectively zooming down a mountain at 100kmh practically in your birthday suit
I think hip-padding is underrated - it would be so simple to include in clothing, and almost unobtrusive (if you're not a pro roadie!)The other point of impact was my hip. This is an area where I think a bit of padding is needed , not that I'm planning on falling off soon .
I wouldn't think that would help much. I am not volunteering to try it, anyway...I just tried putting 2 pieces of pipe insulating foam into the pockets of my jeans and then cycled on our exercise bike . I could ride with it , so the theory is there.
Weight wise it is negligible ! It means that I will have to use other pockets for things . At least it will give me an inch of foam padding .
I don't want to try it. I've already been off twice and felt the effects .I wouldn't think that would help much. I am not volunteering to try it, anyway...
