Nice Blast From The Past Polarbear .... Love the Dog Box Thumbs Up

I'm sure a lot of us have thought, ''I wish I'd had a phone camera to record that moment'' But on the Up side we haven't got any of those embarrasing photos shared to Facebook to be displayed forever! Shocked

Cheers

Saw a weird one yesterday that made me look twice ......
Crocks & Socks Shocked

Mind you there's a lot of Grockles about at the moment so anything's possible. I'm surprised they don't ride on the pavement .... because they walk up the middle of the road! Laughing

Cheers

I wear proper gear generally. But if I'm doing bicycle speeds I wear a bicycle level of gear. And some places are just so damn hot that wearing anything approaching proper gear gives me serious concentration issues.

I still think wearing flip-flops on a 600 is just daft, but each to their own.

Just saw my first shorts and T-shirt this year and remembered this thread, a bloke rode past my window at work riding a Tuareg 660.
Each to their own, but always makes me cringe having seen a cycling mate who came off at about 25mph and looked like he'd been badly juggling belt sanders

How does the OP feel about stout brogues, tan slacks and a Hawaiian shirt?

Saw my first His & Hers the other day.

Casual Shirts, Shorts and what looked like bare feet! Shocked

It was on a Fully Rigged out Harley D with running boards though. So I suppose if it had gone over the panniers and fairing would have kept them of the Tarmac.

Cheers

I ride to work in Altberg Defenders, 3/4 camo shorts and an armoured hoodie.

Its safer for me to do this than ride in full gear as I suffer badly in warm, let alone hot weather from dehydration and heat stroke.

I take risks as appropriate for the gear I wear, I'm old and can make these choices.

I've not read the replies in this thread but I think anyone riding bikes without basic safety gear is a total muppet.

End of story..

Was 30 DegC + on the commute home today. Had full gear on except for summer gloves and was very comfortable.

I wouldn't wear a helmet if it wasn't law, either.

It's all very well (and true) ppl take more risks the safer they feel but the protection is also there because of all the other c*nts on the road Wink
