I dress for weather and not for “Safety”. The exception is I always wear jeans and boots, (nylon GI combat boots for warm days and leather insulated combat boots for cold days.) BTW I have found them to be the best boots ever since Uncle Sam gave me my first pair. Once I tried to move my bike from the driveway into the garage wearing only slippers and damn near dropped it when my foot came out of the slipper.
Here is how not to dress...
Rex your picture of a dude with a helmet on and shorts and flip flops on is one of my bigest peeves. I see people riding in shorts and flip flops (GI term) and I try to tell them. Dude you go down and your F%$#. Our toes help balance us when we walk.....no toes no walk. I've been down in the last 40 years 4 times. If you ride long enought it's not a matter of if you will go down it's a matter of when.
