I live in Barcelona, and yes none of the locals wear leathers etc.
And they take their kids with slippers and swimming gear on the back of their motorbikes!
I cannot believe it.
Anyway, for me NEVER without at least protected ankles, hands and upper body.
( I have to admit that I ride in the city without leather trousers )
