>>28531263 (OP)riding with full gear is lame as fuck and feels like the equivalent of swimming in a suit tie and jacket. Or like those muslim women who swim in burqas and shit.
Unfortunately drivers are retards and roads are in bad shape in a lot of places so riding without gear is stupid as fuck. I still do it sometimes though like at night at the end of summer when all the tourists have gone home. Goggles a shirt and shorts with tennis shoes is glorious in no traffic rural america at night.
Its still dumb as fuck to do though.
