    Never trainers but I'm usually guilty of Jeans and often of a Hoodie and Novelty helmet. I find it's the power rangers with leathers to match the bike I see acting the most idiotic normally.

    Have ridden for over 30 years and in that time worn just about every get up on a bike and yes that does include vest, shorts and flip flops - was it ever that warm in the 80's?
    Nowadays it's usually Goretex textiles, leathers or occasionally the kevlar cargo's get an airing but part of me always hankers back to the jeans and Adidas trainers days of my X7 /LC youth. In the end you only need the safety gear if you come off!

    Very true
    But it's usually the ones not dressed the safest that don't ride the safest

    @brizzer, spot on, and thanks for making me realise I misread the entire post! Lol
    I'll STFU now...
    Hahaha! That's brilliant. Nowt wrong with a hoodie.
    I'm wearing jeans and a hoodie right now!
    Don't get me wrong, I've worn everything from a suit and tie right through to shorts and flip flops whilst riding and I know it's stupid but I would never cross the white line to gain vision, overtake on a blind bend or overtake at a junction regardless of what I was wearing.

    I thought it was only yoofs wearing hoodies roaming around shopping malls we had to be wary of?

    I reckon next to your hat gloves and boots are the next most important things.
    I have some Richa winter gloves which are goretex but they aren't very warm and I can shake them off if I really try. Not great I don't feel safe wearing them
