  8. All my protection (helmet, shins, gloves) just make my feel safer and
    therefore i am more confident. It is so much easier to do something
    scary, if you know you would get hurt -that- bad.

    Ok my gloves save heaps of blisters. But i hit my shins very rarely and
    only ever hit my helmet once (i was riding backwards, i rode over a
    stick and fell flat on my back, smacking my head on the ground).

    I wear my shins and helmet just for confidence, but i would -never-
    take off my helmet. Wearing a helmet is such a small inconvenience
    compared to brain damage.

  9. For indoors riding - nothing (although I wore wrist guards & knee pads
    for confidence when learning)
    For distance/other practice - helmet & harbringer gloves.
    For Muni or anything I feel is a bit risky - helmet, harbringer gloves
    & 661 knee/shin pad thingies.

  11. I always wear cycling gloves because it helps a lot if you fall and
    doesnt get hot after a while. I wear 661's when I'm going to be doing
    something where I need the extra protect but usually only in cool
    weather and right now my helmet doesnt exactly fit so I wear it
    sometimes but when I get my new one soon I'll wear it more often.

  12. Cheap-o knee pads for those few times I do actually fall on my knees,
    weight lifting cutoff gloves to keep soreness to a minimum when hopping
    and to prevent palm scrapes when I have nasty UPDs, and a biking helmet
    just 'cause.

    661s will replace the cheap-o knee pads in a couple weeks, and after
    that I'm probably gonna buy some actual cycling gloves.
