But you in relation to your view on vegans as Roy Chubby Brown once said “you are what you eat”.

if you are what you eat, Im a pussy I guess.

I did actually provide you with some reasonable advice, but like most vegans, your head is stuck too far up your own arse to see the advice, in favour of banging on further about your perceived moral superiority.

fucking vegans

Some of you guys are tough - it was a civil question.

So yup I agree, you do what you feel is right and he happy that you’re being true to yourself, Peace

Reading that reply, you sound like one of the more reasonable ones I've encountered.

Just for you, I'll eat a 2 dolphins on your behalf.

My sister is a pretty committed vegan and has fully vegan-y bike gear and most of it seems pretty good stuff...

Next time I see her, I'll ask her and grab some links for you

I'm a vegan, therefore i do not wear leather. Anyone here wear non leather biking boots, and if so do you rate/recommend them? I am after a casual style not a racing, off road style.

Alternatively, I have synthetic steel safety boots lace up from work that I wear at the moment, and I have a good pair of sturdy walking boots. Both of these are lace up and come up above the ankle so have good support.

Is there a reason one should wear motorbike specific boots or will my current footwear do a good job ? interested in peoples thoughts,

cheers

I don't know what they are actually made out of but Klim might have something suitable https://www.klim.com/Outlander-GTX-Boot-3926-000 A few of their other boots don't explicitly say leather so maybe they have more options for you in the specific style you are after. It might pay to contact them to double check. Expect to pay Klim prices though.
