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!

Deliveries of gasses are not a problem for Torque.

Personal Protective Equipment is vital 4 safe operation of rotating machines, equipment vehicles specialized mountain & race cycling vehicles kitchen & fabrication ENV:

I am a PPE Maniac because I want to stay safe. These gloves are in a Class where they properly protect me, operating my Racing Mountain vehicles, rotating tools, torque wrenches, especially when I go to more than 300NM

I ride six to seven days a week
This was on the MTB

Introducing Torque! (Kurri can't help himself)
If something needs moved, Torque can deliver. This large gryphon puts himself to work shouldering the burden others would not dare take on. Whether it's passengers or cargo, he'll strap in and see it through.

Paper alert from @UAFunMorph!
PhD researcher Cas Jorissen just published a chapter of his #PhD in Journal of Experimental Biology on torque–frequency trade-offs in muscle-driven lever systems 💥

Alternating contractions of antagonistic #muscle pairs can produce rapid cyclical movements—but systems adapted for high static #torque are expected to move more slowly. Cas tested how fibre type, muscle size, moment arms & inertia shape this trade-off 💪
