PPE for cycling

MD formatted

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!

At least 6 people were injured, w/ blood gushing down one man’s face & another man carried off on a makeshift stretcher.

What had been a calm demonstration in downtown #LA quickly turned chaotic when #police on horseback charged at the crowd, striking some w/ wood #rods & #batons as they cleared the street.

So where does that leave me, if my Outcome is all about 👸🪄🔥🐈‍⬛?

The booklet says of the Queen of #Rods: “A warm, honorable woman, devoted to her family and loyal to her friends. Card may signify also some success in business.”

Hmm! For myself tonight, I feel pulled toward an interpretation that if I prioritize behavior that gets me closer to real happiness, e.g. opportunities to see the nieces & nephews…

#tarot #CourtCard #Wands

What do I associate with Christine? Confidence, above all else. Self-possession. Unshakable curiosity. Impulsivity. Charisma. A velvety-soft tummy.

#Wands is a suit often associated with fire. So the Queen of #Rods is a fiery character skilled at exerting her will without squandering her precious social capital. She does what she wants, and we only love her more for her boldness.

Just like our wicked, beloved, aggravating Christine…

#tarot #CourtCard #BlackCat #CatsOfMastodon #NotMyCat

Finally we arrive at the fifth card, The Outcome, the card that sheds “light on the potential outcome or direction the new beginning may lead to.”

I like this Queen because I associate her with my parents’ adorable and malevolent cat, Christine. Christine is acknowledged as the Queen of Batons (or wands/rods/staves/whatever) in our family. 🐈‍⬛
