I wore jeans all the time with great boots, helmet, jacket and gloves......then I watched a guy lowside in race leathers on the street at about 20 mph. His new knee puck was absotively ruined.
I wear a stitch roadcrafter 1pc most of the time. If it's going to be a spirited ride I may throw the bohn back protector under for some extra protection.
If I need to be warm, my roadgear perforated pant and jacket with the liners in are fantastic

Do you have pad/pucks on your roadcrafter?

Boxers unless it's a long way to go and a short time to get there, then its bicycling shorts.

Weird. I bicycle all the time. It never occurred to me to wear bicycling shorts under pants. Does it really work? Doesn't it get hot?

I went down

Amazing. You really do look like a young Michael Douglas on steroids.

Bike shorts are mileage eaters. Any ride over 300 miles and I have a pair on. They wick away sweat and keep monkey butt to a minimum. Highly recommended.

Nope, I use my brass ball as axel sliders on the front fork. Or the 1/2" chicken strips.

I definitely gotta get me some pants!

Yes you should the authorities look down on you when you expose yourself to small kids.

Good article.

Saw a middle aged couple yesterday afternoon...jean shorts, tank tops, flip flops, sunglasses...and helmets. Some things just make you shake your head LOL

I wear alot more gear now, since I started creeping up on the 50 year mark, than I did when I was younger. Now its boots, gloves, leather jacket and/or vest, jeans...helmet not as often as I probably should, but more than I ever did in the past.

Lotta "lost souls" in these-here posts on this thread.

MO just ain't what it used to be. Always good to hear from you, Auphliam.

I wear Dirty English most days which is kind of an inside joke since I am in fact a dirty Englishman...

So even some of the "elder statesmen" on here are not really ATGATT huh? That surprised me. I figure if you've spent a couple of decades or so riding, you would have seen enough carnage to put up with a little discomfort in order to avoid skin grafts etc. Then again, the hillbilly outlaw HD guys prove me wrong. Not comparing, just observing. lol.

Wear riding over-pants pants, jacket, gloves, helmet, boots every time I ride. Been doing it since I bought my bike 7 years ago. It's tempting not to in the hot summer months, but can't stand the thought of road rash.

I always imagine a belt sander with 40-grit coming at me. And... on goes the gear lol.
