Uniform
The other day I was riding to work when I happened to notice the other people riding bicycles around me.
This was more of a coincidence than typical of what I see everyday. But I wondered- does not wearing a fluorescent uniform make a person stand out more?
My bicycle is not a toy. I don’t play dress up. Same with my motorcycle. And my car. It’s a tool, transportation, not a fashion statement!
If I’m on my bicycle, I’m going someplace, I’m not just “training” or “saving the earth”. In not riding in circles to “get my miles up”
I detest bicycle helmets! Not that they don’t help sometimes , but I started riding a jc higgens 24 inch bike on the boardwalks of metlakatla alaska in 1959! I never even SAW a bicycle helmet until my mid 30s! And I WILL NOT WEAR SPANDEX (except to make my daughter’s puke! now that’s funny!)
