Hello all,
Im a design student working on a design project concerning the city of Chicago. Ive decided to consider bike safety and possible improvements that could be made to help Chicago cyclists. If you could take a moment and fill out my survey I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Jon.

Who wears fucking elbow pads riding a bike in the city!?
Nerds.
I did two or three times this winter, only on the worst days.

Wow, I really did not think that would be a thing.
Shows how completely wrong I am.

I have a Gortex enduro motorcycle jacket with semi-flexible internal elbow and shoulder pads and decided that it'd be a wise choice on those crazy days we had this winter. Seemed like i was reading a lot of reports of people going down on the chainlink, so i figured it was a good idea. The jacket looks pretty much like a cordura cycling jacket with vents and reflective elements, you can't even tell it's armored.
I never went down, but I if I have the gear, I might as well use it...
I know a few people who fell and broke stuff this season.

OK, see that makes tons of sense to me; in my head I was envisioning people wearing skate style elbow pads...
It doesn't have padded elbows but I wear the leather jacket I purchased for motorcycle riding in the winter on the bike a lot myself.
