Those low-speed crashes like your sister had - virtually everyone who uses 'clipless' pedals has done it AT LEAST once. (Including Yours Truly.
) You just learn to tuck and roll so you don't break an arm while breaking your fall.

Given the number of bents I have seen in this burg (0) no one will notice anything amiss if I wear those elbow protectors the skateboarders wear. Should help reduce elbow bruising for the slo mo crash. Guess shoulder pads would be too much...
Still have the Strada as number one pick for the bike. A San Antonio dealer is supposed to have a P-38 up and running and was to give me a call, guess I will have to harass him Monday. The Lady and I are now considering a run to Houston, or possibly Florida, to ride as many styles as possible before making decisions on what bike to buy.
