I'm beginning to think they may be a good idea...

    With a mug like that you'd be doing the world a favour.

    Quite right, I look a bit better without all the swelling, honest.

    I meant just wear it all the time.

    They certainly have a place but I would only use mine for DH. Maybe some skills training is in order.
    Hope the injury heals soon, looks like you will be paying for your dentist's holiday in Barbados with that one.

    The skills are not too bad, I've just been off the bike too long. I got rusty and complacent, it happens. Yeah I'm dreading how much it's gonna cost to fix my beautiful smile. I cracked a few ribs and dislocated my thumb too but they will heal quick enough.

    Yeah, I got what you meant and I agree with you. I was just trying to defend myself somewhat.

    Broken ribs hurt a lot, especially if you did the bottom two. Whisky and painkillers time!

    Nah it's the two right under my nipple, still bloody hurts though. I'm so swollen it looks like I have a tit. And don't worry I have a whiskey on the table in front of me as we speak.

    I bought one as soon as I had my first real fall off the bike. I'd really recommend it, especially if you've got pimples or moles (i've seen you've got one). You could get bad complications if you get them scratched seriously. Try and get one, just in case.

    I wouldn't suggest wearing one for anything other than gravity fueled riding. They are just too hot, sweaty and heavy even if you have a nice cool light one. They are designed to be worn for short periods only.

    No, he means those "light flow" months.
