Default Riding Gear- Graphic picture warning!

I took a slide last summer while doing 35mph on a bicycle. I was hit by a car (hit and run) and slid about 60 feet in a riding jersey and shorts. You will get the same result on a motorcycle at 35 mph in a shirt and shorts. Buy good gear, and always wear it.
