==Protection from injury== Lateef (2002) found: "Lower limb injuries represent the commonest form of injury among motorcyclists involved in [road traffic accidents]."<ref>Lateef F. 'Riding motorcycles: is it a lower limb hazard?' ''Singapore Med J.'' 2002 Nov;43(11):566-9. PMID 12680525.</ref> Subsequently, Kortor ''et al.'' (2010) also established that: "Lower limb injuries represent the commonest form of injuries among the motorcycle accident victims. Fractures were the commonest type of injury seen and the most common location was shaft of tibia."<ref>Kortor, J.N., Yinusa, W. and Ugbeye, M.E. (2010) 'Lower Limb Injuries Arising From Motorcycle Crashes', ''Nigerian Journal of Medicine : Journal of the National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria'', 19(4). doi: 10.4314/njm.v19i4.61980</ref> And an earlier study at [[UCLA]] found: “Lower extremity injuries are among the most common injuries sustained by motorcycle riders in crashes and often lead to extended and costly medical treatment and permanent disability.”<ref>Peek C, Braver ER, Shen H, Kraus JF. Lower extremity injuries from motorcycle crashes: a common cause of preventable injury. ''J Trauma''. 1994 Sep;37(3):358-64. PMID 8083893.</ref> Regarding injury risk reduction, [[University of Lyon]] research found: "knee-high or ankle boots [...] reduced foot and ankle fracture risk."<ref>Wu D, Hours M, Ndiaye A, Coquillat A, Martin JL. Effectiveness of protective clothing for motorized 2-wheeler riders. Traffic Inj Prev. 2019;20(2):196-203. doi: 10.1080/15389588.2018.1545090. Epub 2019 Mar 22. PMID 30901230.</ref>
