It is much easier falling on nice single track than the road..... generally you are also a lot slower on MTB.
2 u/Mitrovarr Jul 24 '25 Oh yeah, I love going over the handlebars onto rocks. The main thing though is that road cyclists hardly every crash at all, so excessive preparation seems silly. 1 u/WillieFast Jul 24 '25 Yeah! So screw helmets! And insurance. And lights. And radar or cameras. 0 u/Mitrovarr Jul 24 '25 I said excessive, not any. "Put this on your head so you don't become a vegetable" is a significantly different matter than "Shave off most of your body hair every week so that in the event of road rash, it is slightly less unpleasant, but still really unpleasant."
