OK, here goes:
ALWAYS wear a helmet. And jeans, shoes and long sleeves. The cop that came when I had my accident said would have been toast w/ them.

Hoop,
By shoes, I'm sure she means boots... Would also recommend gloves and some real leathers... gear is easier to replace than
skin.
I had my one 'walk' (ok hobble) away accident on a bike when I was 22. Was going to the lake on hot summer day, had on a
tank and shorts and sneakers. Had second thoughts so put on some jeans and boots. Thought what the hell and threw on
leather jacket and even some gloves... Gravel had washed out from the quary up from parents house on a blind curve and I
laid it down. Gloves have no palms, boot tore all to hell and ground out sleeve/sholder of jacket... All my skin is intact though...
