Does rather emphasise the OP's question though
This was an "Original" Ginger cake
Would a modern Ginger cake have afforded the same protection?
Thanks, yes, it makes perfect sense know, I had always wondered why we were told to carry Malt loaf in our back pockets in the old days....Does rather emphasise the OP's question though

I'll accept a bit more friction and possible road rash in exchange for more padding if I fall![]()
Is the air resistance over padding more or less than that over rippling/flapping? I'm assuming ordinary lycra and that everyone isn't stretching the extreme tight-fit skin suits over themselves in winter.Well padded offers a better cushion and suggests travelling at a lower speed die to air resistance and less general "hammer alongness" so if you come off it's lower speed so a bounce that requires the padding.
Both sealant canisters and handwarmers are useful, but yes, the "I will walk/jog home" distance is longer when it's cold!My concern with being underdressed in winter is that I quickly cool off when I have a puncture or mechanical; it hasn't happened to me yet, but I could imagine quickly becoming too cold to manhandle a Marathon + back onto a rim.
Same here. I much prefer to crash when im wearing shorts and a muscle vest.So much safer to crash in the summer months when the ground is softer.
soooArmy surplus does it for me.
I wear regular clothing no hi viz just decent bike lights. Wouldn't dream of wearing any 'cycling' clothing myself but I appreciate others think it's wrong. Never been killed or run over in 40 plus years in all environments.sooo
wearing camouflage is good????
makes the kids round here riding in black jeans, trainers and hoodie seem like blackpool lights!!!!
personally I wear hi-vis and reflective - and loads of lights if needed
