You don't sound like an #heyasshole! at all dude.

You're 100% right, I don't know what to add except I need to remain as cautious as ever, and not get lazy because I've got armour.

Also at the end of the day, I really don't want to scratch my bike/buckle a wheel etc...

The idea of risk homeostasis is disputed. One author claimed that it received "little support" another suggested that it "commands about as much credence as the flat earth hypothesis"
