Riding weather is here again and I'm trying to decide if I will wear bike shorts or that with a pleated skirt over. I usually wear a hijab under my helmet for concealment and to keep dry. I don't bother with clippy shoes. I'm wondering if I should wear tights or would it have prevented my road rash? I had though I was mostly uninjured in my mishap, but it may have momentarily rang my bell. I've decided. Girl kit it is.

Only a suit of armour

will stop road-rash if you come off. Mountain bikers used to wear plastic armour things on arms and legs but I don't know if it's available now. It would look silly on an ordinary bike.
