I'll bet that's quite a site to see... Haha, but it is a good idea.

I wear a helmet when im riding mUni,the rest of the time i dont wear
any pads. I'm considering getting some shin pads though, pedal bite
sucks.

Can anyone beat this? I wear:

skate helmet
elbow pads
wrist guards
padding cycling shorts with extra padding for my tailbone
knee/shin guards
ankle wraps

I have never fallen onto my hands & knees and only fallen backwards a
couple of times while learning.

That pretty much "covers" it! I wear the same stuff, but my elbow pads
are actually 661 arm-guards with the elbow built in. Gloves under the
wrist guards.

When I sprained both wrists my first year of riding (frozen ground, it
was) I wore double wrist guards for quite a while.

Bike Helmet
Cycling Gloves
661s
Padded Cycling Shorts

I've seen people that have worn full on face masks before, though, and
companies sell actual body armor for cycling.

I used to wear all that stuff (apart from the elbow pads) when I was
learning. Even when I was inside the gym.

Now I don't wear anything whilst in the gym (apart from the usual
clothes ofcourse).

Whilst road riding I wear helmet and wrist guards - padded shorts (and
camelbak) if going over 4 miles or so.

For xc/MUni I wear 661 leg pads too.

And sometimes if the wrist guards and leg pads have got their velcro
stuck together it takes forever to separate them.

I think Podzol is winning! I thought that a back protector was about
the only thing digigal hadn't mentioned, but a life jacket is even more
extreme😄

I never usually wear pads and helmet, but last week for the Snowdon
ride (my first experience of muni on an actual mountain) I wore a cycle
helmet, wristguards, knee pads, and soccer shin-pads with ankle
protection. I'm glad I did, as feeling safer made me feel that I could
ride faster without worrying so much about the consequences! I think I
will continue to wear at least the helmet for normal riding, just in
case.

I think I'm one of the few people who usually wears elbow pads for muni.
I wear padded cycling shorts, helmet, shin/knee pads, wrist guards and
elbow pads. I'm usually more padded up than most people on a ride -
I'm a bit of a pessimist and think far too much about falling, and my
local trails are very rocky.

Good one. I like that .. Don't know if I'll ever try it.

You know the "float noodles" people use in swimming pools?
I slice off a half inch off the noodle and stick them under my wrist
guards on my palms. It makes for a cushy landing. It really came in
handy when I was learning how it skateboard.

I use all the pads on the tough trails. I'm a stinky mother fo.🙁

Last week I thought I didn't need any pads. I went to the park I fell
off a small wall and hurt my knee and hand . I was out for the week.

Stay safe and stinky. It's the best health insurance.

I got to go wash my pads.
