why do people dress like theyre in the motogp to ride their bikes on the street? It can be 105 degrees outside and i'll still see people in these fully padded race suits, boots, gloves and everything. I wear a riding jacket if its freezing cold outside or raining.... and even then, i remove all the pads and shit from it. Riding shoes consist of anything that doesnt have shoe strings for me. i hate having to wear a helmet, much less a football uniform to ride. I recently did a 6 hour road trip. This was my riding gear...... jeans and a gators tshirt, my slip on shoes and no gloves. Took the helmet off at the florida state line. And before you ask... yes i have dropped a bike before, id rather get scratched up than look like a pussy all the time. I understand wearing a race suit at the race track or maybe even if you know you're going to be doing something intentionally dangerous... but for a normal stroll around the town, is it really needed? Do people wear them to look cool or are they really scared of wrecking? and if you really are scared of crashing, didnt you get the memo? When its ur time to go, its ur time to go. The lord works in mysterious ways. Amen.


If you ride looking like this, please explain. Thank you.
