PPE for cycling

Intro

• Everyone needs to use PPE in their work
• Using rotary motors means the upper PPE needs to be long sleeved
• the ears need earmuffs with NNR from -12dB to -24dB (or more)
• sparking environments need fire proof ppe
• eyes need ANSI Z87 glasses as protection (no exeptions!)
• faces need ANZI Z87 face shields

Cycling needs heavy PPE

• all types of cycling require PPE
• helmets designed for cyling (jet style motorcyle helmets are of course much better)
• UV protective PPE glasses, if needed with dioptre correction
• ears need to be unobstructed at ALL times!
• no earbuds
• definately NO HEADPHONES
• ear obstructions drop your hearing sensitivity with more than 48 dB, meaning you hear -48dB of surrounding ENV, which can be deadly. Every day people get into traffic mishaps due to this stupidity
• chest needs sweat wicking PPE, designed for cyling MTB, race, timetrial can use the gear interchangeably
• torso needs long sleeved cycling PPE
• legs need bibs which go all the way up to the chest as first layer of heat regulation
• at least three layers of torso PPE are required, using less means getting scrapes to serious wounds when a fall is broken properly.
• imporperly broken falls mean contusions ligaments and or bone damage, which are prevented with basic Judo lessons, up to the yellow band
• in Judo you learn not to fear the fall, even at high speeds
• I've had a Sensei who threw me more than 4 meters in the air, with me running towards him at full speed, to break falls as they would occur in high speed situations
• feet need cycling shoes
• pedals should be designed for cycling style and used with shoes matching.
• if pedal straps systems are used those need inspection for wear and tear
• SPD pedals & shoes work great for me on all cycling platforms I ride in
• cleats need to be maintained, cleatnuts need greasing and proper torque
• cleatnuts need to be regularly de torqued then retorqued to detect oxidation lockups, otherwise the breaking torque will be so high the nut will need forceful removal with a power drill and heavy mechanical skills

inspect the race machine before riding and give tires proper ammounts of bar in air pressure

• grease the chain after wiping it of dirt from the last ride
• dirt has silica and other contaminants which work like grinding paste on chain lins
• take time before riding

Use common sense!
