Top tube pad...
Worked as a messenger and this kept the top tube from getting banged up and is also there to protect me from the top tube as steel gets really cold in the winter and if I was to go down it would also provide some protection.
I ruptured the bursa in my knee once from slamming it into an unprotected top tube and was off the bike for 6 weeks.
It's nice to come to stop and be able to straddle the top tube and not end up being frozen to it...
