While many mountain bikers and BMXers use such pads, most people of
course deem their head more important to protect than their limbs.
Gray matter, facial features, eyes, etc.

You wear a cycle helmet that covers your face and eyes?




(My comment, /in context/, was that most mtb-ers don't wear all the
elbow and knee pads and chest protectors, etc. They DO wear helmets
because the head is more important to at least /try/ to protect.
Yours may not be.)


But why, then, did you say "facial features, eyes, etc."

Because along with helmets most mountain bikers wear -- gasp -- protective
eyewear. (As for "facial features", a regular helmet can help protect them
in some circumstances; and I suppose that some mtb-ers wear mouth-guards,
too.)

The /point/ of my comment was that most mountain bikers don't wear "Star
Wars" plastic courage pads and armor.

BTW, you gonna hump EVERY post I make from now on -- including revisiting
ones from almost two weeks ago?

Are you subscribing to the supposed magical protective properties of
helmets - y'know, like the ability to prevent something like 75% of
leg injuries?

Please find a quote from me suggesting anything remotely like that.
