Just in case you ever worried about the need to exercise with 200 mSv (see linked wikipedia definition) or higher radiation levels here is your bike suit, as displayed in the March 1952 issue of Mechanix Illustrated. I’m guessing that a lead-lined suit makes biking in a century ride a bit impractical. I suppose after a major nuclear strike, though, we’ll see more short-distance biking, given the extra weight of our protective suits.
Lead-Lined Suit specially designed to protect against radioactivity in an A-blast, was designed by Leo Pauwela of Los Angeles and is modeled here by his son. “If it doesn’t land on us, we’re safe,†they say.
