heres my thoughts, well last time i went on a long ride car cut me off and i feel on the highway. so we stopped bout hour later and i decided to put on my track gear for the rest of the way cuz i wanted to feel safer if i fell again and secondly wouldnt get scrapped up to bad. heres my question do u guys wear ur track gear when u go on long rides or just wear ur jacket and jeans. im asking cuz im heading out on a 4hr trip again and dont want to look like an idiot in my full gear riding

Well, If I'm commuting or just out for pleasure, it's jeans, jacket, helmet, gloves and boots, and a pair of riding jean(basically just super thick denim) If I'm going on a trip, same gear but armored riding pants, but no track gear. Don't think youd look like a fool or anything, plus, I'd be concerned with how youd look if you crashed and didn't wear gear, as opposed to vanity getting the better part of your judgement.

Even a decent pair of boots, enough to cover your ankles (don't look to bad for walking round in).
Decent jacket, does not have to be leather, there are heaps that are stylish & have descreet armor, gloves goes without saying. You guys must have something like this over there: www.dragginjeans.com.au
even a 5 minute punt down the shops can have involved in a stack. Wear your gear everytime.
