I saw some of these at a bargain price and was tempted to buy on impulse, but I'm not sure when I would use them.
I know its my decision, but I would appreciate some advice.

Never!

Oh, maybe if i was riding in Morzine, but i aint so never.

lol, perhaps you should try "the bitter hobo"?


get them if you reckon you're gonna get into some heavier riding, then again, it's not worth getting cheap ones that'll steam you alive either

When I fall off.

For roller-blading.

I use shin pads on the MTB and BMX though.

I wear Elbow Pads every ride even if I'm just going for a slow spin up the canal path, even mid summer at 32c I'll still have them on, I don't notice them to be honest.

Reckon I've saved myself from 1 broken elbow so far so it was worth it, elbow went down real hard, didn't even feel it.

Dianesse ( sp! ), should get Knee pads but skint. ( watch as I break my legs tommorow )

The particular offer was on 661 veggie pads at 75% off in a relocation sale at a local shop.
