Leather, nakedness and commuting

[nick crisp]

I do actually always wear a proper jacket with armour (textile) and gloves even in this heat nowadays, but have worn jeans etc throughout most of my riding career. I don't have proper bike boots at the moment (temporarily), but even the Nikes I'm wearing give a modicum of ankle protection. Of course once we're back to wet weather (default setting!) this'll have to change.
