A little reminder to buy leg armour
Finally got my new bike. No pics yet; forgot to use the camera we actually packed 
but this is a pic 20 minutes before I decided to go and protect my legs from becoming ground beef. Hucked off a set of stairs at the University and my foot slipped when I was stopping. The pedal came around and really ripped my leg good. Here is the "clean" version.

Try that but on the other side of the leg, where the bone is. And still don't want to go clipless, I feel more comfortable having my legs "free". But leg armor is the way to go either way.

anybody here ever have a set of those nasty black widow pedals? I have a dent, yes a dent in my shin from where the pedal caught me on several occasions.
