Hell yeah, when it was 43 degrees in the summer* it was shorts and flip flops all the way. Had a few of those moments pulling away from the lights thinking are they still on or half way off and going to be left behind though.





*wasn't in Bangladesh but still mighty hot.

I got whacked on the toe with something random the other day (guess it was a stone) and it quite literally took my breathe away - it was really sore, even inside my big boots! The thought of that in flip flops doesn't bear thinking about Sick Personally, I couldn't do it, I'd just have to cook!

“The sandal has been specifically designed to protect their feet while riding bikes,”

Thinking . . . . Only in America.

Why do you think C90s and sundry other small motorcycles popular in the Asian market have a heel-toe gearshift?

Riding around in Florida in tshirt jeans and trainers was pure bliss.

Fuck having a helmet on felt like you were suffocating.

Still I rock a helmet locally but hardly wear gear in summer.

Gear protector's on the wrong foot. Laughing

Imagine having a spill, your feet would be toast!

I'd rather put up with some stifling heat for a little bit than risk appendages.
