Well, this is what confuses me. For all those people who talk about the lack of protection for when you ride kilted, how is that any different from the thousands of people who ride bicycles in shorts every day? Why don't they wear head-to-toe covering? Coming from someone who has crashed many a bike, road rash from a bicycle accident or a motorbike accident pretty much sucks either way.



Here's a family (found using GIS) where everyone's wearing shorts.

Now, I know what you're going to say. And before you do, I realize that a motorbike goes faster than a bicycle... So then if speed's an issue, then how about this guy? Racers get up to some pretty solid speeds too... Especially on hills.
