Thanks folk's. I bookmarked the leg armor mentioned and I own a semi-recumbent
trike that is my main set of wheels. Low boy recumbents are a no-no for me anymore,sorry
I guess I'll just limit my BIcycle riding to fun stuff that is as risk free as possible.
I might tinker a set of crash bars up to put in my BIcycle someday just for fun.
Thanks all.
