Sitting in a car, no one can see what you've got on. For better or for worse, on a bicycle you've got nowhere to hide. Here's how we dress when on our bicycles in Toronto.
We wear stripes on our tall bikes:
And we wear solids on our small bikes:
Sometimes we wear all black (to not be seen "salmoning"):
Or we wear all blue:
And then we also wear some other primary colours:
To be seen we wear our safety vests:
And we sometimes wear clothes that are meant not to be seen:
And sometimes we wear no shirts at all:
And when it's warm, we wear shirts to show off our pregnant bellies:
And we wear skirts and motorcycle helmets:
Or we wear silly animal helmets:
Or we wear boxes:
Or we wear no helmet at all because we have cool hair:
And we wear halter tops when taking our other bike out for a walk:
Or we put on our summery Canadian Tuxedo:
And we carry sparklers in summer dresses:
And play the horn in our sharp vests:
When it rains we put on our bright rain jackets:
And when it snows we simply cover up more:
Or cover up completely:
And we sometimes show that we support Toronto cycling-related charities in our I Bike T.O. T-shirts:
