[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1397047, member: 68872"] + 1 on the boots and goggles. Kicking a rock at 30 MPH can do serious damage if you are wearing tennis shoes. The boots will also protect your leg if you end up under the bike in a fall. As for a chest protector, if I am off on a "gentle" ride I usually wear just a plain old cheap chest protector. Easy to get on/off and it doesn't get too hot. If I am going on a ride with guys that will push me or when I am racing I wear a "pressure suit" style, with integrated kidney belt and elbow guards. I also religiously wear knee/shin guards. Your knees are the widest part of the bike and if you cut just a little too close to a stationary object it will be your knees that suffer the consequences. As far as the cost, consider the cost of NOT having the proper gear. Medical bills can be staggering. Even the riding pants can end up saving you money in the long run. Denim just doesn't hold up to a significant crash so you might end up ruining a few pair of jeans where as a basic pair of riding pants will take the abuse. You said you are 14 now? Hmmm, your profile says you were born in 1985.... Rod [/QUOTE]
