Um. So, I'm new here. Hi!
I've been biking for a few years now, but I still crash a lot. In fact, my favorite motto is "if your not crashing your not trying hard enough". Apparently, I've been trying really hard. Maybe I have bad balance, I don't know...
I started wearing a pair of volleyball kneepads my first year of riding. They're simple, flexible, and low profile (i.e. not huge). They've worked pretty well. But on a sans-kneepads ride (doh!) I had a nice little crash that gave me a sweet puncture wound in my knee. It was only 3 stitches, but that's enough to make me wear my pads more often.
My old volleyball kneepads need replacing and maybe upgrading. So, I'd like to find a pair of new knee pads that don't slip down, aren't too hot and uncomfortable (this is why I wasn't wearing mine for the puncture wound crash), and aren't huge.
Besides kneepads, if any of you have advice on how to crash less I'd be happy to hear it.
Cheers!
