If i commute then goretex pants, leather riding jacket, backprotector, riding boots and gauntlet gloves are the LEAST amount of gear I´ve ever ridden in.
What the H*LL is wrong with that?
Are you seriosly going to tell me that there is something BAD or POSER:isch about me protecting myself on my bike?
If so, i think you need to step back and take a good hard look at what you wear and why you wear it. The gear is there to protect YOU. Rationalizing it away when your just going "down the street" makes me wonder why you have it in the first place. Do you take more chances on the road when you wear the gear? What does that tell you?

so i must be a MASSIVE squid because i ride my bike to school wearing jeans, shoes, gp tech gloves mx-1 jacket with spine protector and an x-11 instead of my a* race rep and sidi vortices right? what a ****ing idiot i am...
it would be absolutely lovely doing electronics labs wearing 5 grand worth of safety equipment and preaching atgatt at everyone who walks past me... i'd be held in the highest regard because i'm so smart.
be realistic here, that's all i'm getting at.
