    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    rich? try stupid. Cycletreads had a sale. Only the pants ($119.95), jersey ($30) and gloves ($40) are Fox. Goggles ($40) are Scott, Helmet ($120) is LS2 and boots are Axo Prime ($190).

    That's not silly money for what you got..... buying it all at once hurts, But at least you are ready to ride

    Not much dearer than thor on special for the gear set

    You can get helmet and boots cheaper but Helmet has to be comfortable ... Boots have to suit

    I'm not a fan of breaking levers so do, but I get your point, everyone has their own style and long may that continue.

    Yea like $25 more dear, I did get slightly better gloves then the ones that actually matched my jersey and pants. The boots seem pretty decent very solid. I didn't end up getting the cheapest helmet cause it was really uncomfortable on my forehead

    As above. And... maybe? you never know? I thought maybe when I get body armour and put it over the top I might not look like so much of a geek!
