Riding Safety Gear Within City Ride

Bike riding gear is important on highways, but is also important on city rides. If you are riding more than 20km everyday on Indian roads, then you should consider wearing riding gears everyday to office. It might sound ridiculous. But with the same logic people laughed at wearing helmet some 20 years back. And some still do on wearning them on long highway journeys.

You may laugh on it, but even in one incident if it saves you serious injuries then its worth the pain of wearing them everyday. I do understand the pain of wearing them in hot weather but I cannot emphasize more on its importance.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

—Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 – 1860
