500 yards 30mph max Lunch break ride - wear Leathers ?
 

OK here it goes.

I have an hour lunch break and ride to the Local gym.

It's only 500 yards down the road and Speed limit is 30 MPH.

Since it's 30+ Celsius I find myself riding there in shorts+tshirt.... :oops:

If I'd ride there in leather gear - my work clothes would be drenched in sweat.


I can't jog there as I need a full hour to lift weights also there's the way back to the office - I'd sweat again like a pig.




So what are your thoughts on this ?

400 yards? Walk, you lazy wotszit :P

Personally I'd walk. 400 yards hardly seems worth taking the bike.

Surly 10 minutes isn't going to make that much difference ?

It'd take longer to get into gear, ride there, get out etc than it would to walk surely?

As above, walk. :roll:

If it was me I'd walk. but it's up to you to decide if it's worth the risk not us.

Its your skin! :(

Statistically (according to the TV ad) your more likely to have an accident on the roads you know/closest to a familiar place.....saying that I rode from here to Bromley the other night NOT wearing my leathers just too hot.....................

THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!! :wink:

:shock:

7 replys already :lol:

I can't walk it. Takes 10 minutes each way.

so that would only leave me 40 minutes gym time - (10 minutes shower)



I normally wear my leathers all the time but since that heat & it's only a short ride @ 30mph max.... I decided not to.

400 yards... ain't that only a little bit more then a lead up to a slip road... walk... or even jog. That way you ain't missing out on that exercise time.
