I wore body armor back in my DH MTB days (still have my Dianese jacket and FF helmet). Its very effective, but its also horrifically hot and not terribly comfortable. I do love that the solution to lots of cars running over cyclists is… for cyclists to armor up. :rolleyes:

There’s a guy who I see occasionally on the Custis who wears what looks like motocross armor and a BMX helmet. He apparently got the memo before the rest of us…

I was behind him yesterday! We should play “Characters of the Custis (and other trails)” Bingo
