Re: Impulse buy, new rider
Thank you all. Looking forward to posting when I have questions. Only question now is for the people who wear gear, when you go out to eat, what do you do with your pants/jacket/helmets?

Riding pants can be left on in most cases. I don't usually wear much under them except for my danties or maybe some shorts. I have JR Alter Ego pants with removeable panels and full length leg zippers so I can keep reasonably cool. A jacket and helmet can be carried in and hung up in a foodery or leave them on the bike. I carry a cable style bicycle lock which can be used to lock a jacket and helmet to the bike when needed. Run the cable through a sleeve and chin guard of the helmet. Open face helmet use the D rings to secure the helmet. Be sure to leave nothing of value in the jacket pockets or you may loose it. Always try for a window seat to keep the bike in sight if possible. Locking bags and a trunk are nice if you have them. You can always carry street clothing if you are going out for the day and want to dress in a more casual fashion. Include some sneakers to switch to if you have riding boots. High top hiking boots will also suffice for both ocassions. |
