Hello, I am finally getting my first bike after a few years of hesitation, a big one being fear of getting hit by a car and dying. It looks so fun though, and I am just ready to get out of my comfort zone. I used to ride dirt bikes so I figure I am capable of doing this too. I have a question about safety gear. Do cyclist wear neck braces? I don't think I have ever noticed anyone wearing one, is there a reason for this? does it impede vision or dexterity in a way that would cause you to be more likely to get in a bad situation? And again, I am totally new at this and know pretty much nothing about the sport except for brief and broad research on bikes so, this very well could be a ridiculous question . thanks.
