Thomas - be careful - the short rides are just as dangerous as the long ones...

I couldnt agree more. I went for a short ride feb 13th.I didnt put on knee protection cause I figured I'd be right back cause it was cold. Sure enough I layed it down 15-20 mph second turn in a traffic circle.Had my textile jacket on. Landed on my elbow and back. Armor saved me from the light impact. I slid 15 ft or so. Knee and ankle screwed up a little!
