Re: Is "All the Gear, All the Time" a minority?
Hey Jer, I guess what I find distasteful is the notion that we who don't do ATFGATFT have a "loose screw". That is not at all the case. Most of us non-believers have carefully weighed and assesed the consequences and have made the cognitive decision not wear ATFGATFT. There are mental deficients in both the believer and non-believer categories. Most non-believers I know do wear riding boots, a helmet, t-shirt, and jeans and find that to be comfortable and and in their view, and in most situations, sufficient protection. I also find that most believers abandon ATFGATFT after a few years of safe and competant riding anyway.
Why do the believers feel the need to convert us non-believers? Why beat the horse to death?
