As a resident of the skin cancer capital of the universe, I also wonder whether cycling jerseys offer all that much protection from the sun -- even in the parts that are covered up. Also, do skin cancers only appear on the skin that has been exposed to the sun? Or can they turn up anywhere? I ask because I had a mole removed from my back a couple of years ago -- although it turned out to be benign. The thing is, my back is NEVER exposed to the sun -- I even wear a shirt to the beach.
One other question -- I heard somewhere that most of the damage leading to skin cancer is done in the first 12 years of life. How accurate is that? If that is the case, I'm probably screwed anyway.
