It's indestructable biker season again!

I find the simple solution is to not care what other people do. I see another two wheeler I wave and smile politely and carry on. The beauty of freedom aye, ride around butt naked for all I care.

Do you get as concerned about cyclists wearing lycra?

I tell ya what it freakin hurts coming off at 30 odd clicks wearing that stuff! (That was also the day I learnt to wear gloves while cycling, the road rash on my hip was nothing compared to the hole in my hand!)

I would imagine that at any speed lycra would provide no protection if you hit the deck, it is purely to stop your guts hanging out and somewhere to stick a logo. Doesn't stop people doing in excess of 70km/h on push bikes though. I wonder if cyclist forums have the same issues as KB, where some such as myself and Mr916 above really couldn't give a shit what anybody else wears while others feel the need to shake a fist and sometimes actually have words if they see someone who isn't swathed from head to toe in dead cow.

Fuck. I just got it. This whole ATGATT crap is being pushed by Federated Farmers. It all becomes clear now.




Unlike the rivers.

Yes but those people tend to wear/ equip themselves with the right stuff ie. harnesses if sailing alone/rough weather.

What about the free climber? What harness are they wearing?
