I can't imagine why anyone is in the least interested in what I wear when I ride, but it's important to keep the ATGATT thread rolling along—if only to support Pterodactyl's thesis that ATGATT threads are more fun than oil threads.
So. I nearly always wear a RST Ventilator mesh jacket, boots, kevlar riding jeans, riding gloves and a full-face helmet. Sometimes I skip the riding jeans and wear ordinary old blue jeans.
Occasionally, very occasionally, if I'm riding two minutes down the road to the bottle shop for a beer or two, or to the hardware shop for 4 litres of Dr Dactyl's Prophylactical HUBRIS omnigrade 30W-70 motorcycle oil, I'll wear shorts, a t-shirt, Crocs and a full-face helmet. Nearly always as I do this, I wonder if I'm being silly as gravel rash is gravel rash no matter where you get it.
