I would disavow any knowledge, if I were you.

I don't wear clothing when I ride... It's too restrictive and it isn't required in Idaho [8D]

ORIGINAL: tplyons
Don't get me wrong, I'm not busting anyone's chops about wearing a jacket in heat. I do too, just not distances under 1/2 mile
I will say that if I am just going a half mile up the road near my house for something from the hardware store, or if I'm picking up the mail a half mile down the road I will not wear a jacket, so I agree with you there. It's just not worth putting the thing on for such a short trip on slow roads.

I always wear a jacket and was thinking not to use it in short rides (with 91° or more) ... but... the weekend of august 10th I was in a family trip in Houston when I saw a guy without a jacket who, somehow fell down in a crossroad, (the paramedics on the way and some more bikers around so I didn't stop), but the guy had a bad road rash in his right arm, the accident wasn't that bad but just thought if he were using the jacket that would not be that bad.
