come on vlad… ive ridden bikes for years and have never owned or worn a riding boot. The boots are a little extreme. The kids going to be riding the bike around town, not on a race track.
Jackets will protect you and should be worn, ill agree with that 100%. Im also the guy who bought a jacket and it sat in my closet after the first week of ownership.
If a car cuts you off at 45 or 60 mph, chances are your dead or your dead. The boots arent going to save your life when your neck snaps.
