What gear do you wear when you ride?
How does everybody gear up when they trail ride (or road)? Are you a kamakazi and go helmetless, or just a helmet and gloves, or what?

Yes, I value my head, hands, crotch, and eyes.
I wear clips b/c it helps me pedal.It's my job to call the BS around here. Get over it.

Depends on the trail. Some trails require a bit more protection than others. Essentials include riding shorts, gloves, always a helmet and shoes/clips/pedals.

Always a helmet. Always.
Always bike shorts, comfy....
Always glasses - tree branches and rocks kicked up are bad. Very bad.
Always gloves.... I've ridden a few times, by accident, without. Not good.
Clipless pedals because it's easier to ride!!Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. ~ Frost

head, shoulders, knees & toes......
depends on the trail but always a helmet, gloves & glasses....I hate bugs in the eyes and I like my brain...it's a fair brain...
ask Acca about gloves...he learned about gloves on gooseberry mesa last year! and PADDING? I LOVE padding when I am bombing down a hill and comeup on bushes or trees....branches baaad...skin gooood.
I still have a helmet on display in the shop with a branch sticking out of it...very convincing!

Would "granny gear" have been an appropriate response?

But if he wore a full-face helmet, then he would not have that killer scar to tell the chicks about!~Jason

I'm mostly a commuter, so I wear a helmet (I hate my helmet, it fits funny, but at least it keeps my brains from leaking out through my ears) gloves, and whatever I'm wearing to work that day. Typically jeans and a t-shirt. (My co-workers must love sitting near me).

I just wear street shoes, comfy shorts, cotton tee, and a helmet.
Plus a bunch of other crap for filming....
I started out with no gloves, then I smacked some slickrock on Gooseberry about 6 years ago. Then I wore gloves all of the time.
Then this year, I forgot them one time, didn't even notice until I was unpacking them out of my pack. So now I don't wear them.
