My favorite way to ride. I sure seemed like a long winter this time. Maybe I'm just getting old. I used to like the cold and snow.
PS this is a weather thread, not a gear thread so the safety patrol doesn't need to chime in. We already know you don't approve of riding in shorts and sandals.

Never wore sandals, flip flops, etc. while riding. Just doesn't seem like it would be that comfy to me.
Wore shorts while riding for a long time when I was young. Took a very minor topple when an old lady backed outta her drive in front of me. When the guy in the truck behind me helped pick my bike up off of me a nice charred chunk of my leg stayed stuck to the muffler. Kinda like when you pick up a pork chop or ribs and a couple of chunks stay stuck to the grill. I have only worn shorts one time since on a bike and that was unavoidable.
But if you like to ride like that, I've never berated anyone about what they like to wear while riding. And the weather has definatly been perfect if that is your prefered attire. I was just recounting why I personally wont wear shorts anymore.

Riding in shorts feels great but I still have a reminder of why I shouldnt from my pipes on my 97 fatboy from years back. Ouch.

when I was in college I got yelled at by a old geezer for wearing sandals on a bike, and I have been self concious ever since.
