I am a beginner with less than 2 months experience riding a bike, so I worry about bruising myself further sometimes. But the cuts and bruises I've suffered so far were because of bad decision-making on my part, causing the wipeouts/falls. In motorcycle class they make you wear a leather jacket, which presumably was why "motorcycle jackets" were invented. But motorcyclists travel at far greater speeds...
