I don't think I even have a pair of sandals, maybe some shower shoes from my last deployment? I couldn't ride in shorts either, imagine cleaning the skin off the pipes?

Helmets, short, sandals, sneakers it is all up to the individual rider. What ever turns your crank go for it.

I'd like to think I don't care about what I look like while riding (or otherwise), but I'm not exposing these white hairy legs to anyone outside of the bedroom.
