We do, however, recommend wearing a cycling helmet, but accept that as it is not a legal requirement this is a matter of personal choice." So they don't recomend wearing gloves, cylcing shoes, clothing that won't get caught up in the bike, hi-vis gear at night, but do think you should wear a MFH. Martin. |

If I'm off to that kind of formal event I will ride in my DJ - formal shoes and all (and academic gown if it suits the the event and the weather). I will refrain from putting on my tie until I've arrived. If I had the misfortune to have to commute in a suit I would probably just ride in my shirt and bundle the suit jacket in my pannier (unless the weather was really hot perhaps). Obviously that typically means not pushing so hard so as to avoid getting too nasty and sweaty, but it makes for a much more satisfying journey over all. I realise that this view may be difficult to accept for the serious cyclists here, but I do think that this idea that you should have to wear special clothes for ordinary utility cycling is unhelpful. A cycle trip has to be quite long before it's worth the faff of carrying a change of clothing. Hi-vis is a more complex question, but I hope we can all agree that we would prefer to live in a world where ordinary cycling doesn't involve having to wear hi-vis. -- Ian Jackson personal email: <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ PGP2 key 1024R/0x23f5addb, fingerprint 5906F687 BD03ACAD 0D8E602E FCF37657 |
