37C outside today, and probably will be that for the next 3 months, but when I go out its still full gear. I had the standard question yesterday, "Isn't it hot", and I gave the stock answer "NO!!" Here the law says that you must wear a helmet, not sure if it says where, but most riders have them on the arm, or if on the head, not done up.
The other question is "why wear gloves?", and the answer to that is "If you fall over, whats the first thing you put out to save yourself??"
Last week going to work I got zapped by a bike cop with a radar, pulled over, and as I was stopping he saw I had all the gear on, told me to take it easy, and sent me on my merry way. ( normal gear here is t-shirt, shorts, flip-flops and as I said, helmet on the elbow) There is a guy just up the road with a big cruiser who rides around with his helmet on top of the headlight/handlebars.
It would be a squids delight here.
