Biggest prat I've ever seen!

[Uber Dave]

So last night on a ride out I was behind a van who was following two push bikes on a down hill stretch. These guys on the push bikes were in shorts and t-shirt (spandex type) with a helmet and no gloves. The fastest we were doing down the hill was 60mph, and thats behind the two guys on these bikes, they were all over the damned place but nobody kicks off and moans when they do these speeds in relation to their lack of protective clothing.

We can all make our own choice, we may not agree with it but its each persons own choice. Live and let live!

I agree Dave. The biking fraternity and the wider community can educate on the perils of insufficient protective clothing and then it is up to the individual to make an informed choice.

In Italy and Spain it is extremely common to see riders on bikes and Scooters wearing next to nothing.
