Okay, I get it. It’s hot.
And when you’re riding a motorbike, shorts and a vest top might seem like the perfect answer.
But what happens when you fall?
Your body doesn’t stop and think about what would be safest. Your hands can shoot out. Your knees, elbows and feet can instinctively move towards the road.
And suddenly, that little bit of clothing that felt perfect in the sunshine isn’t protecting you at all.
So I tried to show what can happen — without actually hitting the ground. Because I definitely wasn’t volunteering for that part!
The road doesn’t care whether it’s 35°C or 15°C. Tarmac is still tarmac.
That’s why, when I ride, I wear proper motorcycle clothing, boots and gloves.
Always dress appropriately, whatever the weather.
Stay safe. Ride smart. And look after yourself.
