Gear that's not gear

[Go2Trackdays]

Whoa whoa whoa!!!. Wuz she hawt?

Very likely - it's really hot outside today :teeth

I put on my helmet, gloves and maybe even boots at a minimum to take my bike across the street to a different parking spot.

That sounds reasonable. Get this for the next time you want to go for a walk:

Got passed in traffic today on the way home by a guy in shorts, t-shirt, and high tops. Thought, man, I'd hate to be him if he goes down. Not 30 seconds later, he was still riding and probably made it home safe.

:laughing :ride

Well, that's kind of what I was more interested with this thread. It wasn't intended as a gear nazi thread (it just took off that way, so I shut up).

Rather, I was curious about "dual use" technologies. Clothing and such that's not designed for riding, but is "better than nothing", and some of that kind of clothing ideally is better than others. Your case, for example, what it may lack in armor or abrasion, it makes up in visibility.

Added bonus, Halloween's a comin'!

On those hot days I'm just jealous of those I see riding with t-shirts and such. Seriously. But I wear my gear for the same reasons I always wore my safety glasses, ear plugs and gloves on the job: you never know when something outside your control will cross your path. I was never afraid of the injury, just the consequences.

(That's funny, I just noticed you're quoting me in your sig-line... :teeth)
