    What EXTRA riding protection do you wear and why? Types, brands, pricing, etc? For street or trail? Age related?

    I sport the ABUS Hyban Urban helmet also. I also use fingerless gloves for my palms and a velcro pant cuff thingie that has limited success keeping chain oil off my pants.

    Innovations from Eurobike 2018

    I agree. Some might like it as an option. It will be interesting to see if anyone can make a battery out of the entire frame or at least incorporate the down tube, bottom half of the seat tube, and the chain stays as battery storage.
