In a bicycle wreck, hard objects in or on a bike jersey can make the accident even more dangerous. Please consider stashing things like keys, cell phone, inhaler, bike tools, and even flashing lights on the bike, e.g. in a bento box or tool bag, as opposed to in your jersey. Residing close to your jeresey pockets are: Bones: ribs, hips, spine ... yikes! Impact can cause fracture or contusion. Vital Organs: on the LEFT your kidney and spleen & on the RIGHT your kidney and liver. Impact an cause internal bleeding. Muscles: a rider could receive significant blows causing bruising or hematomas. From Sophia Lal: concerned cyclist, local doctor and club member.
