It always amazes me how much attention some of you guys pay to what others wear when they ride. Honestly it doesn't even register with me unless you have on something really outrageous like if you were tooling down the highway wearing a jock strap and a sombrero. That I might notice and remember. If you have on some form of pants and a shirt, it won't make any impact on me and I couldn't say with any certainty what the current "fashion" for riding is around here or anywhere else for that matter.

You mean you're not supposed to ride in that?

In all seriousness, who cares what people wear. Ride your bike live your life.

Who cares what other grown men wear? I can answer that! Only gay guys do and there are a lot of them in this thread. Now log out and ride.
LOL +1 Brah!

I am a college prof and a preacher. Once in a while (not often) I'll ride to school or a church with dress clothes and even a tie (tucked in military style. Once, I was dressed up on the bike and stopped to gas up, the guy next to me took a double take and said, "Wow, you don't look like a biker."

My reply, "Good."

Man, I can't stand any of this trendy crap. Been a black T & jeans guy for the last half century, ever since I saw Alvin Lee & Ten Years After in "Woodstock". I'll be buried in them, too.

So, go ahead and wear what ever you like, I’m not going to judge you on your character or think less of you (at least until I get to know you). Your clothes don’t make you any more or any less of a man. But don’t be surprised if you get a little good natured ribbing if you look too much like Ronald McDonald!


Not much blending in that way, very few people seem to wear white T-shirts any more, not "bad ***" enough like the black ones. Plain white T's are what I've worn since I was a little kid in the mid '60's. My dad, uncles, and their WW-II and Korean War veteran buddies all dressed that way. They also rolled/cuffed their pants or jeans. I thought they looked cool, and still usually dress that way. Now I'm told that cuffing my jeans and wearing white T-shirts means I'm trying to be a "hipster."
